I'm one of those introspective, non-threatening, geeky, safe as milk types. Think Linus and/or Franklin from the Peanuts comic strip. I drink some, but I don't do drugs or smoke. I am also a music lover (contemporary jazz, rock, pop, R&B), bookworm (especially history, pop culture & architecture), architect (favorites: Palladio, Wright, Robert A.M. Stern), shopping fanatic (malls rock), budding (if not exceptional) chef, closet techno-geek (viva Macintosh).

That's different. No florescent letters anywhere. Wouldn't even know it was a Saks from a distance.
Sexy Saks!
Todd: I agree. It's beautiful.
Jake: This store dates from the 1930s. Luxury stores were very understated back then.
Cantnot: I wouldn't say sexy, but it is quite elegant.
Is this store still open? It looks abandoned. Definitely understated. You'd think they'd put up a big sign to advertise itself.

Nope, it's very open and popular. Saks is such a neighborhood institution in Chevy Chase, they don't need a big sign :-)
