Tustin Whole Foods

[effenheimer_IHB]

Anyone have an opening date?

 

[EvaLSeraphim_IHB]

<p>Oh, thank you for the change of topic. </p>

<p>I thought I heard 8/26, but am not sure.</p>

 

[effenheimer_IHB]

<p>Thanks. I'm hungry and there's no halva in my bin.</p>

<p>I'll bet there's a mob on the opening day. </p>

 

[profette_IHB]

I wonder if they'll give away any freebies for the grand opening?

 

[Trooper_IHB]

yes, thx effie....was shying away from awgee and marty doing battle..... and didn't the Whole Foods / Wild Oats merger get approved ?'

 

[effenheimer_IHB]

<p>ppl are testy today. Warren Buffet spat here, Jas Jain on Calculated Risk preaching hellfire and bloody damnation, and the Effenmoto mailing list has two guys doing battle over motor oil. Only my work e-mail is civil today.</p>

<p>Best wishes for peace, love, and fresh onion focaccia.</p>

 

[OCbob_IHB]

<p>It's going to be a huge store, traffice will be better when TR road goes through</p>

 

[reason_IHB]

Is it just me? Does anyone else find the parking design at the District kind of horrible?

 

[OCbob_IHB]

I think someone from Disney designed it

 

[reason_IHB]

Oh, Hi OCBob. Nice to see u again.

 

[effenheimer_IHB]

<p>reason, rear entry is preferred. Into the shopping center, er, you know, from Warner.</p>

<p>Oh never mind! </p>

 

[OCbob_IHB]

<p>Hey reason, </p>

<p>What get's me about the District, is accross the street on the Irvine side of Jamboree is that big trash transfer site, it really smells...</p>

 

[Bubblegum_IHB]

I hate the parking design, especially at Costco. The angular parking aisles and the limited access to the roads feeding into the parking lots are horrible....

 

[Bubblegum_IHB]

Oh.. whole foods is to open on the 26th, was pushed back from the 22nd that they mentioned eons ago...

 

[effenheimer_IHB]

There are new homes on the opposite side of that xfer station, even closer to the smell than The District is. The ones in the NW corner of the tract have power lines, too. It's amazing what people will ignore during a speculative mania.

 

[reason_IHB]

<p>Effen - I live here and am still looking for Warner in the back of the District. hahaha</p>

<p>OCbob - Huh? The other side of Jamboree is a cement place. Hmm, never notice any smell. </p>

<p> </p>

 

[reason_IHB]

<p>I was hoping they made it into something like the Grove in Los Angeles. An outdoor mall where you can walk around. </p>

 

[reason_IHB]

<p>Bkshpr,</p>

<p>What's your take on the District design?</p>

 

[effenheimer_IHB]

<p>There's a cement place and a Waste Mgmt xfer station. One's right off Warner, the other is at the north end of Construction Circle (inside the loop).</p>

<p>Reason, as you head west, Warner goes under Jamboree and turns into something else right at the Irvine Inn. </p>

 

[effenheimer_IHB]

There is a small outdoor mall area. It's packed with teenybopper stores, many have not opened yet. I think the idea is to drop off the brats down there and then go eat with the grown-ups on the perimeter.
