That's about all the place is good for and only in a town like Vegas. Around here the people who shop at the Defect are just lost. Couldn't find WallyWorld.

One good thing to say about Long Beach. The citizens shut down a Home Depot anchored shopping center that was to be built last year. I guess the people have finally figured out why there are so few real hardware stores and real nurseries (to name a few businesses) left to find quality goods and services.
Surprised I didn't hear about that one - where was it? And how many more can this area really support anyway? We've already got two (Signal Hill & Spring St.) not to mention Grainger, WhiteCap and a few others for "real" contractor stuff.

The last thing this area needs is more "big box anchored" shopping centers.

I noticed yesterday that the one over by Sears is now going to have TWO major anchor tenants vacant - CompUSA's space is still unoccupied after a year and a half & now Circuit City is closing up. If Sears goes, that entire shopping center will probably collapse.
