I always shopped at Santa Monica Place, that is, until it became "Dubai by the Bay." I let the City Council members and developers do their shopping there for me.
Pretty soon, Santa Monicans will be able to see Manhattan, and they won't have to take a plane to get there. All they'll have to do is look outside their own front window. Welcome, Manhattan, and goodbye, Santa Monica.
