I can remember when South Coast Plaza used to have Big 5 sporting goods, Eddie Bauer, a knife store, and more regular-guy type of stores.
Now it’s just filled with uppity, pretentious stores. Granted it has a Sears, a Del Taco and a McDonalds, but my point is that it’s transformed over the years from more middle-class to being embarrasingly snobby.
