The Grove - outdoor mall in Los Angeles

After a quick work out at the gym this morning with John, we decided to go to the movies at The Grove. The Grove is an outdoor mall in Los Angeles at the corner of Fairfax avenue, Beverly Boulevard and Third Avenue.
Going to that kind of a mall here is a whole experience. I can remember the first time I went there, it was in the evening and I thought it looked exactly like Disneyland ! Big stores are aligned along a large pedestrian street where a trolley can ride you around, big fountains, jazz music, lots of restaurants with nice outdoor tables... I've got to say that shopping have now reached a new level of greatness to me.
That being said, we wandered around a little, went to the inevitable Abercrombie store still featuring f*** good looking model at the entrance, tried the new 1969 GAP jean's collection and had lunch at a fancy italian ristorante where the waiter kept using italian words to raise his tip ;)
We then saw the movie District 9, which was interesting in the way that it deals with a story involving humans and aliens in a new angle that I hadn't seen before.
Here are some pictures of the Grove:
