I'll second the Camarillo outlets if you're heading north to Oxnard/Santa Barbera etc.

Cabazon is fine, but for some reason I don't find them anywhere near as good as Camarillo.

Citadel is fucking massive and it's on the way to San Bernadino. Commerce Casino is big but it's ghetto compared to vegas.

The beverly Center is OK if you need trainers (sneakers) or an apple store etc but other than that, it's a regular mid-high end mall.

Melrose (where I live has changed drastically) and there's 100 bars, restaurants and cafes within a 2 mile strip, and tons of stores, everything from dispensaries, to vintage clothing, to toys, to art and design - it's basically got everything and the main area is really fairfax to highland. There's no Walmarts actually in LA (thank fucking god) but you can still find Kmart near the grove which you way to go to if you want a clusterfuck of retail and a decent farmers market/food stands.

If you're going to be in LA proper and need tips, PM me Swampah.

It was a bit of a whirlwind weekend so I didn't get to see anywhere near as much as I wanted.... however, I will be back so not a big deal.

Ontario Mills was a complete fucking zoo on Friday - manageable though. A bunch of stores had lineups to get in so I didn't bother with them, I was especially surprised by Levis having a lineup.

Prices/Selection were decent but with the exchange rate nothing was really outstanding.

I thought it was really good! Great vibe (considering how cold it was) and all the stages were pretty full both days and early on. It was nice to not have to worry about some random EDM'ish crap being dropped upon my ears
