I can't give an overdeveloped new area such as this more than 3 stars. I cringe when I see a Cheesecake Factory plopped into the middle of such a city with incredible restaurants. Most of the shops and restaurants here are commercialized chains that should be found in suburbia. That being said, I can't say no to the theater, which has some great deals for college students in particular. I do enjoy some Urban and REI as well. Parking is not fun- therefore I would recommend just parking on the other side of Carson and walking over rather than the deck.
