Being across the street from one of the largest shopping destinations in L.A. has its pluses and minuses. During the year it’s a blessing as the Farmer’s Market, Barnes and Nobles, Whole Foods, and the Pacific Theaters are all within walking distance and quite manageable. But, before the last belch of some skanky relative’s Thanksgiving stuffing reaches your nose, it turns into an all out maddening chaos. The Farmer’s Market becomes a grey haired gladiator brawl, the 14 screen theater makes you appreciate the 200 seat art house showing “Harold and Maude”, the book store turns into a study hall for University kids cramming for finals, and the Whole Foods grocery store looks like the food relief deliveries in Somalia.
