Car Rentals LAX and Melrose AvenueMelrose Avenue is a funky, New Wave, walking/shopping/dining/people-watching area which is both bizarre and delightful. Melrose is the Rodeo Drive of the young cutting edge trendies: a place to shop, stroll outdoors, but most of all, it's a place to see and be seen with your car rental LAX! Besides serving as one of L.A.'s major pedestrian islands, it is home to a significant architectural and commercial monument. The Pacific Design Center (PCD), built in 1975, is a massive, brilliant blue glass complex containing 1.2 million square feet of fabric and accessory showrooms, furnishings and furniture. Set at the corner of Melrose and San Vicente avenues, the PDC or the 'Blue Whale' is open on weekdays. However, except on special market days, only professional decorators and designers may purchase merchandise from wholesalers who exhibit their wares inside. The public, however, is invited to browse and dine at the PCD. The Eccentric AvenueMelrose is one of the few genuine pedestrian neighborhoods in L.A. It is unique, with a quirky, off-beat personality all its own. It's a neighborhood trying desperately to be hip and outlandish, and succeeding wonderfully; a garish blur of day-glo and neon, of pierced noses and red Ferraris; row after row of eccentric, trendy little boutiques with gaudy storefronts done up in florescent colors, sporting curious names Become part of the landscapeMelrose Avenue caters to a contemporary, off-beat audience -- those who are into funky clothes, gaudy jewelry, peculiar artwork, odd furniture, bizarre trinkets and just about anything else that's kooky, zany or left of center. If this sounds like your kind of place, then you will want to visit with your car rental LAX. So it's no wonder that the boutiques, as well as the people who patronize them, are wonderful sources for window shopping and people watching. Saturday afternoon is the best time to people-watch, when the trendy crowds emerge. |
