Studio Village — Local services in Culver City

another one of these shopping center things?

who takes the time to consider the subtle differences between a "shopping center" and its constituent retail estabishments? i've lamented this before, so let's try a different approach:

"studio village" isn't near any studios. it's SORT OF near sony studios but that's a stretch. you could almost as easily call this "airport village" due to the almost equidistant LAX. so don't expect to be discovered by a producer here. nor a pilot.

beyond that, the "village" is home to a bunch of convenient retail establishments. there's a target here, for example.... but you might find yourself confused by the access to said target. there is a labyrinthine entrance and parking lot arrangement that seems designed to weed out the least intelligent among us. this seems curious for a target, but i'm sure there are reasons.

on the other 'side' of the shopping center (i'm not sure where the legal boundaries are of the studio village) is the pavilions i've reviewed before, as well as a rite-aid, and even a restoration hardware outlet store (that last bit is reasonably unusual, so there's that.)

Amazon just purchased Culver studios so it's definitely jumped up to accommodate the new wave of college grads with cash to burn and the aging hipsters looking for new...

Sad. It’s oddly a sad shopping strip. That’s so unhelpful but yeah, it’s just so long and there’s really not much to drop by and do there save groceries - like ….maybe a pet store, maybe a tj max, maybe a party city? Meh. Seems like a lot of space but like - badly assembled. I’m petty so ignore this - it’s a fine place if you need to visit one of the businesses operating here. The parking lot is just super Bummertown. Also, seagulls. Everywhere. Seagulls live to be 25, 30 years old. So there may be some pavilions parking lot seagulls that were born when mtv was still v2-ed by Carson Daly ala TRL. For my...
