Where to shop in CA?

[*MAD DOG*]

Hey everyone,

Just after some advice on where to shop when my wife and I visit in Jan 09.

I'm after the names and locations of:

Big and Tall menswear stores
Plus size ladies clothing
Computer Parts
Sporting Goods
Mens/Ladies Runners

and any other store you think we should go and have a look at while we are over. Preferably the Anaheim Area, but willing to travel.

Last time we went to Brea Mall. Any suggestions?

any malls should have "big and tall mens clothing" or any outlet malls(lower priced than regular malls)!!!

[contraband831]

most malls have a Casual Male XL Stores, i would google them Near where you are staying. Also if you do rent a car, you may want to hit one of the Outlet Malls. I believe one off of I-5 is called the Citadel?

[*MAD DOG*]

Thanks for the great info peoples.

[dvlnblkdrs]

theres citadel, cabazon and ontario mills all outlet malls...

[*MAD DOG*]

cool, thanks for the heads up.

p.s. is there a mall near the super 8 at 415 W Katella Ave? They were building something huge there when we were over for our honeymoon in Dec 06-Jan 07.

Bullshit! The one in LB don't like the white folk either unless your a white blond girl. I got the worst service there and my wife was treated like a Queen. I just wouldn't go there, I think the food is overrated.

If your going to be going to Disneyland and all that then your going to be really close to me. You should give me a call or something and I can tell you where all the local shops are and maybe go shooting.

Yup, going to Disneyland. We have 14 day park hopper pass so we can go to Disneyland and California Adventure Park. I'm staying in Anaheim very close to Disneyland.

I'll pm you my contact details when it gets closer to me flying over. Thanks for the help and I hope we can go shooting together.

Well sort of. We went to USA for our honeymoon. We got married in Dec 06 wo we were in Anaheim for christmas and Las Vegas for new years. We wen't to Universal studios, Disneyland, California Adventure Park, Legoland, Tijuana and lots of other stuff.

I had never been overseas before so it was a great trip, the people were very friendly.

[*MAD DOG*]

Might do that ;)

Actually, if you don't, your property at home will be burnt to the ground and salted by the time you get home. :rolleyes:

[KCALB SIRAY]

[dvlnblkdrs]

14 day park hopper passes?? I dont even want to think how much those cost. I have family that works there so I get in for free. But I live down the street from the place so I dont go that much at all.

[*MAD DOG*]

We were lucky, we booked this trip before the US and AUS dollar skydived. So we got really good prices on accomadation and tours. But, where the low dollar will hurt us will be spending money. :(

[*MAD DOG*]

bump. Anyone else got any reccommendations for me?

[natethegreat38]

we should have another small meeting in Long Beach while he is here so that we can take a picture and post it!
