Shallow? Like I care...

We are going to Glendale today to see a phenomenon.

We are going to Americana.

In my husband’s business, they call it multi-use.

I call it heaven.

Americana is an upscale shopping center with condominiums and apartments.

It is a self-contained community built around a (sort of) main street with a little trolley.

It was built by the same guy who built the Grove in LA (Rick Caruso).

OK…now imagine, falling out of bed and having a Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf and a Barnes and Noble right downstairs.

Call me shallow- but I love this whole idea.

Yea….quiet, desert, mountains…I know.

But face it, guys. I have.

I am a City girl.

If I could bottle the smell of Bloomingdales, I would spray my house with it.

In my mind, paying 3 bucks for a Cappuccino is an American right.

And having a Cheesecake Factory on the corner is ….well….

You have got to see this place.
