@Glendaleyan FACTS: 20 years ago the area was Glendale's skid row. The City bought the property for redevelopment with eminent domain. They put out bids for developers; Caruso Affiliated won based on success of The Grove. GGP, owners of Galleria sued, lost & then lost countersuit. Citizens approved TAAB in 2 referendums. TAAB is now very successful, adjacent land values quadrupled, Galleria sales increased 20%. True story.
I was gonna live one block from something like this. But nooo Westfield with their deep pockets bought out the council people of Arcadia and brainwashed the folks to vote against the Caruso Mall. Sure there's a new expansion now, but no lagoon :(
Word on the Grapevine is the Americana isn't doing well!
That idiot Rick Caruso is planning on running for mayor (of Los Angeles after Villaraigosa's reelection). I hope he loses.
Look at what he did. He ruined Glendale with overdevelopment. He's just going to be a blank check for giving contractors tax-payer money & overdeveloping everything, driving prices up, & not caring about the average person.
so what was on this space before this went in? looking around the area it seems like the whole place was already lively and economically vibrant? was this area somehow dead and ready to be rebuilt?
its sooooo friggin hilarious how they made aaaaall this in a VERY short period of time......and how it takes like.....5 years for the construction workers in front of my house to build a silly little apartment
this place is amazing(yeAHHHHH Cheesecake Factory!!!!!!!!!!!)
Caruso does not care about the plight of the working class that needs low income housing. He's one of those free-market business-men that only cares about furthering his career by seeking power.
He bowed out just recently, a sigh of relief from me, as much as Villaraigosa is distasteful he's competent and Caruso is totally right wing.
Reminds me of when he came into Glendale City Council and everyone applauded him (this was for the ABC debate) like he was their hero or something -all those were Northern Glendale bourgeoisie. Disgusting. And for a person who prides himself on his taste, his raffish Guys and Dolls suits are terrible! He has no taste.
damn i love the Americana. it totally owned the gallerias life. i went on fri, opening day, after school and damn it was crowded. i love the paris place man its awesome. i love it there, the fountain, the eiffel tower, the huge stores, the old style, the 99 cent soda pop, the view..

I wonder if Caruso cares about the plight of the working class that needs low income housing...

No, Zakdayak.
Caruso does not care about the plight of the working class that needs low income housing. He's one of those free-market business-men that only cares about furthering his career by seeking power.
That's why he plans on running for mayor!
