It was delicious. and yes, the whole rest of the place was eerily deserted. Got sent there a while back to review a new Mexican-fusion restaurant, the name of which I have forgotten.

It was almost eight o'clock and the button on my pants waistline fell off. I got into the Macy's right before they closed and bought a belt for $25. I went there a couple of weeks ago.

Bullock's was the crown jewel in the center of all the upscaleness in the center of LA. It was the first new dept store in downtown in something like 50 years and was supposed to be the turn around for the city. Sadly it never really took off. Not enough business on weekends as so few were affluent folks were residing in the area lead to its decline. With the gentrification going on down there now I just don't see how a tradititional mall fits the area now. With the whole Nokia thiny going in and taking off with entertainment shifting that way that mall will be in bigger trouble in the months to come. I remember when that Mall opened.
