Gilmore Station

The shops are cool and eateries are interesting. The parking is way over priced and could get you for $ 52 or if you remember to get validation it’s a mere $ 24. I unfortunately spent 1 hour and 50 minutes and coughed up $ 32. I may have not minded if it was valet or there wasn’t a line to enter and exit with no person just a gate/​machine.
Too bad that the shop owners must feel frustrated. Find street parking and save some money for the shops.

Service was nice and friendly and the price was great =)

Stores are all awesome, just hate their parking structure. Very awkwardly designed. Be wary if the solicitors there. My neighbor saw one of them exchanging money in the alley from the donation box. Seems shady to me!

These morons are the worst crew you will EVER come across. I left with gay slurs in my ear, even though I’m not gay and a challenge from a security guard to «bring it on.» Yeah. That’s the level of professionalism you’ll get from these ass clowns when THEIR equipment breaks down and THEIR gate is in the up position and THEIR machine doesn’t issue a ticket. They blame this on you when it comes time to exit no matter how many times you explain it. You only get action when you go ballistic. That’s the language they speak.

I shop at the Trader Joe’s here all the time. The stores are good. Hate the parking. Just found out that if you lose your ticket you have to pay the daily max, which is $ 52. That’s absurd. I’m looking for a meter next time I come.

I only come here to go to Mendocino Farms. The parking is free validated for an hour. The parking is annoying. Upon entering I’m always waiting in line for people to go thru the exit just to park. It’s like a prius dealership exploded in the lot.

You are not the Grove. You cannot get away with these EXORBITANT parking prices. This little shopper is NEVER coming to your little shopping center EVER again.
I LOVE Peet’s Coffee and TJs. They are two of the basic staples in my life. Love Paper Chase (used to buy their stuff at Borders, RIP) but I guess I’ll never linger very long in there… I had a sandwich at Mendocino Farms tonight before I did the last of my Thanksgiving shopping at TJs — and that was my first mistake. I was trying to be responsible — they say never go grocery shopping on an empty stomach… You know how you can lose track of time while enjoying a delicious, yet over-​priced, sandwich and beer? And then meandering around Trader Joes trying to figure out what the hell you’re going to make for Thanksgiving, when TJs is out of butternut squash and you’re cooking for people with different tastes than your own?
Well, that excursion cost me $ 8, after validation. And I’m PISSED. Other similar shopping centers charge like $ 2 an hour or so after the first free or discounted hour. But you charge $ 8 an hour. Who decided to charge so much? A crazy person? You best think again. Do you want people to shop at your merchants and spend money? It sure doesn’t seem like it.

In the 1900’s, «Farmers Market became the central meeting place for Angelenos — ‘Meet me at 3^rd & Fairfax.’ is still one of the most common phrases in the city. It also became, and remains, the must-​see tourist attraction in Southern California.»

Originally due to A. F. Gilmore, dairy farmer, oilman, racing enthusiast, visionary, entrepreneur
and currently the A.F. Gilmore Company, there’s another reason to meet at 3^rd & Fairfax, Gilmore Station.
Gilmore Station completes the four corners on the northwest, with the promise of less stress, one-​stop-​shopping. There’s:
