This place is like the great lost city of Atlantis that was buried beneath the sea before people ever moved into it. Or like some great monument to civic pride built in Chernobyl shortly before large quantities of radioactive particles were inadvertently released into the atmosphere and it had to be abandoned too quickly to even demolish it first. It feels good to be so dramatic! But seriously, it is a waste of resources. For example, the surrounding Glendale Public School District services a population of students wherein 87% receive free and/or reduced price lunches...and every single school in the district receives designated funds from the federal government to compensate for funds that simply cannot be supplied by taxpayers local to this area. The few establishments that actually seem to be in operation are restaurants and bars that are grossly overpriced considering these facts. Try to enjoy your 10.00 beer from Saddle Ranch now.
And on top of all that, it's completely devoid of culture. Like Mill Avenue with only 1/8th of the amount of people. And there's cockroaches. The last time I was there I was using the toilet and had to step on one before it crawled up my leg. Then it's legs and bloody bug guts got stuck to my shoe. Much like a metaphor for Westgate City Center.
