    Look around folks…. Does Irvine need another asian shopping center??? We’ve got one on every corner. This is not news, it’s fact……. Why don’t you write a story about the last white owned store closing it’s doors due to lease buyout for that asian center?

    Just a thought.

    Yea sure, Kevin, your right, there’s an asian shopping center almost everywhere. But you know what? Just because I am asian, let me tell you something. Is it the asian people’s fault for being so successful and being so capable of starting businesses that make so much money that other businesses shut down? As far as i know, the hispanic and asians make more money than the caucasians. Why? simply because unlike many local stores like Guess, and even ralphs has high prices for simply food and clothing. Asians and hispanics sell their items cheaper, thus making more money.Oh my gosh never thought of that! Well isn’t that another though?

    “Does Irvine need another Asian shopping center?” C’mon now, does Irvine really need one than one Target within a couple-mile radius? Having lived in Irvine for the past 7 years, I am excited to see this Asian shopping center. These tenants should be able to make up for the lack of good Asian food/restaurants in the shopping centers out by IVC and on Culver/Walnut.
