In the Valley, going to
the mall to pick out a suit or purchase a present is not just shopping,
it's an aesthetic experience: Valet parking, marble floors, classical
music and a concierge are typical of the many amenities to be found at
some of the Valley's upscale neighborhood shopping centers.
Active participants in community life, many local malls also sponsor
enriching, educational and entertaining activities. Indoor walking
programs get everyone up and moving, puppet shows and plays delight
children of all ages, and book fairs, health exhibits, sports events and
holiday festivities are scheduled throughout the year.
Beyond the malls, the Valley is home to numerous outdoor shopping
centers as well as specialty shops. Canoga Park's Antique Row, for
instance, contains a number of vintage stores selling everything from
jewelry to classic furniture.
Ventura Boulevard, which stretches the length of the South Valley, has
an abundance of wonderful shops and restaurants. You can walk along the
boulevard in Studio City, Sherman Oaks, Encino, Tarzana or Woodland Hills
until your legs give out, then take a break and have a meal at any of the
top-rated eateries that line the street. |
