The new sign seen as you enter Malibu should soon read: “Welcome to Malibu! Mall by the Sea with 27 scenic miles of boutiques, run-down old gas stations and restaurants, and lotsa chain link fence.”
Local businesses are dropping like flies-three or four more by the end of the month. Now the library might be sold “because the property is so valuable.” Malibu doesn’t need a library or a bookstore or a CD/DVD store, a hardware store or any other store that would be beneficial and convenient for Malibu’s locals. What it needs are more over-priced Beverly Hills shops for tourists.
Time for a frappuccino, but which Starbucks should I go to?
