Um.....I think Nordstrom forgot how to 'Rack' sometime between when the Legacy one opened and the opening of the Crocker Park location.
Comparing the two stores is night and day. I was shocked at how crappy the layout was and the equally crappy selection of items. Stuff we routinely pick up at the Legacy location either weren't there or were hiding themselves pretty well. For example, the Legacy spot has lots of nice belts and wallets for guys. This place has one teeny rack and all the same stuff on it over and over. No Smartwool socks, no Calvin Klein undershirts for men. These items you can get anytime at the east side store.
If the Legacy Rack is like a Taj Mahal of cheap shoes, this one is a Mumbai slum. Sure there are some decent brands, but you'll see the same 10 pairs of shoes over and over - especially in the mens section. I did grab a pair of casual Nikes for 20 bucks but nothing has really grabbed my eye in the few visits I've had here so far.
We were super pumped for this location to open and with how long the renovations took, we were sure the layout and selection would be awesome. Alas, this place pretty much blows. I'm sure we'll be back to poke around when we're at Crocker for something else, but we definitely won't be making special trips for this place.
