    Third Street Promenade is an open-air, car-free mall that is home to more than 80 retailers. It is…read morethree blocks long. This mall opened in the 1960s and has been renovated many times since then. This is a nice place to go for a stroll and wander in and out of stores. Up and down the street are topiary sculptures called "The Dinosaurs of Santa Monica". Some of these dinosaur topiaries shoot streams of water from their mouths. At the south end of Third Street Promenade is a enclosed shopping center called Santa Monica Place. I used to visit Third Street Promenade a lot back in my younger days. We would grab a bite to eat and then hit a few stores after a long day at the beach. I was here recently and there was hardly anyone here. The vibe just wasn't the same. The Jacaranda Trees are pretty when they are blooming. I like coming here in the evenings when the lights are on. Some popular stores here at Third Street Promenade are Patagonia, Lululemon, Anthropologie, H&M and Urban Outfitters. On occasional evenings, you can catch live music and street performers. Third Street Promenade has a farmers market every Wednesday and Saturday from 8am to 1pm.

    It's shocking how this place turned from being everyone's shopping destination into a literal ghost…read moretown. All businesses which used to flourish back in the day are now closed. There's nothing here anymore aside from occasional popup events. That's the only reason why I still come here. It's sad but it's the reality these days. People prefer shopping online for things they need instead of going out to physically be in a store. I wonder what this place would become. Another condo/apartment buildings? Who knows?

    I had high hopes for this place specially considering the prices but I was highly disappointed. The…read morelobster roll was like 3 bites and for the price you'd expect an actual roll, it seemed like it was tucked into a cut piece of Texas toast. The fries were not bad, the place itself was pretty cool. Great location really cool decorations and the service was pretty great. I don't think I'd eat here again nor would I recommend others to eat here. Totally overpriced for the amount as well as the taste.

    What is Route 66? Well, in this case, it's basically a sign on a pole that has "Santa Monica 66 End…read moreof the Trail" printed on it. It's located on the Santa Monica Pier in front of Pier Burger and adjacently across from Bubba Gump Shrimp. From what I have read from other Yelp reviews, I didn't know Route 66 runs from Chicago downtown to Santa Monica Pier. Wow... no wonder it's a popular attraction! It may get really busy here and the line can get really long so plan accordingly. I would recommend you get your photo op first before venturing off to other places within the pier. It's a really neat place to be actually. I've been here a couple times most recently myself for different venues... one for Children's Hospital of Los Angeles (CHLA) fundraising event and another Heal the Bay beach cleanup volunteer event... so much fun! Come on out and enjoy your visit at Santa Monica 66 End of the Trail! See you here!

For a $10 entry fee (waived with student i.d.) one gains admission to the grounds on which the Eames' house and studio sit. You're invited to peer into the house and studio, they may even open a slider to enable this, but no photos of the interior are permitted. Although the experience is billed as "self-guided", during my visit a docent opened the slider to the home, allowing a better view inside, and discussed different aspects of the house with us in a very informal manner. The experience is mostly visual but if you have questions, ask away. I've no doubt the docents can answer anything you might wish to know about the Eames house and the Eames themselves. Walk the property and enjoy its natural beauty. Take a look at the map to reveal that the surrounding houses are (or were) case studies for other types of mid-century home designs. A visit to the Eames house (overseen by the Eames Foundation, advance reservations accepted), will likely take up no more than 45 minutes of your time but you'll feel like you've seen something unique and historical and forevermore you'll likely spot images of the immediately recognizable home in books and magazines allowing you to say "I've been there".
