There is an interesting shopping area in Costa Mesa called The Lab Anti Mall. A lot of the materials are reused and there are great softscape spaces to sit and enjoy the amazing weather. Definitely a great alternative to the big box stores. There was also shopping across the street, The Camp, for outdoor enthusiasts. You can get certified to scuba dive, do bikram yoga or eat vegan food all in the same place.
How interesting. I'm glad they made the font large enough on the stairs that you can read it from the bottom step. I couldn't imagine walking from top to bottom, backwards, to read it all. I'd probably trip over my feet! 😛
I am very jealous of anyone that is able to shop at such a cool place. I love when there are plenty of available hangouts outdoors, especially when it is so sunny!
