If your are an evolutionist you might consider writing a case study on The Canyon Crest Town Center. I have lived in walking distance of this wonderful place ever since 1994 and have seen it go through many transitions and changes. I was here when Ralphs was an Alpha Beta, Rite Aid was a Thirftys, The Shoe Repair was Ritz Camera, Blockbuster (now out of business) was a Video Wiz, Water & Ice Cream was Ice Cream & Water, Coldstone/Extreme Pita/Pick Up Sticks/Starbucks was a movie theater. That's right, there actually used to be two movie theaters in this plaza right across the street from one another, then they turned one of them into a lazor tag (now Crest Cafe), and eventually just tore the other one down to replace it with the above mentioned establishments. Besides the movie theaters I will pay homage to Bonnie and Friends which was a pet store, the candy store although I forget what the name of it was now, Pizza Hut, and Imagine That Bookstore. These places are all out of business at the Towne Center now, but were once very much a part of my childhood growing up :,( tear, I suppose I'm very sentimental like that. On the other side I want to commend a few of my favorites that have stuck it through these past 17 years that I have known them: Donut Tyme, Coffee Roasters I, Monark (same owners, but the name changed from The Little Emperor), The Athletic Club (I sometimes go as a guest on my mom's pass and soak in the sauna...ahhhhhh :), and The Dry Cleaners. These are the sort of places that know you by name and I enjoy to visit them whenever the opportunity presents itself. I still have never tried Subs & Spuds although I do not know why. I will never go back to the Crest Cafe because of their reputation and first hand experience for serving mediocre at best, disgusting at worst, food. And of course I dislike Starbucks very much for trying to push out a small coffee shop that freshly roasts their own coffee and has been here for over 20 years. Shame on Starbucks and shame on the owner of the Towne Center to even allow them to build shop here; this furthers my convictions even more to continue to boycott Starbucks (support local coffee shops!!! will you join me???)! Besides this metamorphosis that The Canyon Crest Towne Center has undergone, this plaza is convenient as it has a little bit or a lot of everything that one could be shopping for. For the most part the shop's prices lean towards the $$-$$$ side, so be prepared for that if it is your first time visiting. My favorite part about this plaza is how beautiful it is. Lots of trees, flowers, fountains, and other greenery. They even have a stream with fishes swimming around and a spouting fountain that little children play in during hot days. This plaza is also very safe because of its many security guards that you can find patrolling the area 24/7. I may be biased because I grew up here, but I adore The Canyon Crest Towne Center. You may not be able to find support for the evolutionist theory that we evolved from monkeys by doing a case study here, but no matter how many alterations they make to the businesses I'm sure this place will always be great.

The town center has a lot of stores and food. We came here on a Friday night to have dinner and some walking. The place was dead on a Friday. We wanted to get some books at the store but it was closed at 8pm. Then we wanted to go to the gourmet food shop and sample some olive oil, it was closed as well. Darn! We ended up walking to the yogurt store and getting my kiddo a treat. Overall it was just okay. I wish more stores were open.

Good array of stores and variety of ammenities. Centrally located with some of me favorites and my necessities. Everything from banking and groceries to the gym and a speciality cupcake. Kids stores and great BBQ. Only complaint is the gas is overpriced but at least they have it if you need it.

The concept is absolutely brilliant!…read more We had a great lunch, went to the farmers market plus shopped the boutique and record shop. Really cool little spot. No admission fees and the food was reasonably priced. Definitely worth our drive. Saturday's they have live music on their stage.

Ive purchased from Ga Dang and the clerk was discourteous, making me wait more than 15 minutes for lemon while she attended everyone else. It was rude, and felt like she purposely ignored my request twice. On another occasion, I purchased food from a different vendor but wished to buy a beer from Batter Rebellion. I was refused service in front of a ton of guest and required to stand outside in the RAIN, which was embarrassing and rude. Most recently, my sick coworker was informed that outside drinks, a Gatorade, are not permitted. I would understand if he was bringing an alcoholic beverage but he was sick and still chose to purchase food here. While we understand the need for policies, these restrictions seem excessive for an outdoor dining area that should provide a welcoming atmosphere for paying customers. Additionally, I attempted to visit during your advertised grand opening hours of 11am-9pm, only to find the establishment closed. As loyal customers who patronize this location regularly, we believe these policies warrant reconsideration to better serve your clientele.

The Main Street Pedestrian Mall in downtown Riverside reminded me of the 3rd street Promenade in…read moreSanta Monica (or more of how it used to be). It's wide, pedestrian only, has unique stores, many restaurants, cool sculptures and landscaping. A fun place to stroll, shop, explore. During X-mas time it comes alive even more, it's like a cool X-mas market, they bring rides, they have a stage for concerts, many food stalls where you can grab a bite, a fun dessert, a nice hot drink. Prices are reasonable and everywhere we went, customer service was very good. The decorations are incredible, it's a fun holiday venue. Very lively and pretty.

My first time and didn't really know what to expect. I've been to the Mission Inn many years ago…read morefor an event but that was it. Never checked out what was around the area. I was in town for something but had a couple of hours to kill. As you would think that their downtown Main Street area would be somewhat nice to check out. Honestly, it's a cute area but not much there. It's a few block radius with some shops. Nothing major but small mom and pop boutique. There a few small restaurants and then a couple of the bigger one. More than half of the places weren't even open and it was just after 11 in the morning. I feel like it'll get busier during the weekend as around the area are bars and clubs. It is near city hall so you do have a lot of business people but it still wasn't that busy even during lunch time. The place is well maintained and pretty clean and organized. Nice art structure placed throughout the walkway. I don't know much about Riverside but I assume oranges have something to do with it as loads of oranges trees were planted. Could also be just for decoration. There's benches placed along the walkway for seating. Honestly, it's a cute little area but would I check it out again, maybe not. There's not much there. Maybe if I'm out for the night in the area but besides that, there's not much there. I'm not familiar with the area so maybe I'm missing something but it was fine checking it out. There's parking along the street for a fee or at the parking structure nearby.
