I live approximately 30-so miles away from The Grove (or Los Angeles, if you want to be general). With slim to none traffic, getting here can be from half-an-hour to fifty minutes. With horrible traffic (mind you, the I-5N gets traffic anytime except 4am), it can take anywhere from fifty minutes to two hours.

So if you’re planning on visiting here, LEAVE EARLY! If you’re a bit skeptical about the travel time and it turns out that you get there a bit early, it’s cool – just park in a nice spot in the parking structure, get out into the center of The Grove, and browse around.

May I recommend the three-story Barnes & Nobles?
