12/24: Surveying

This bird is checking out the site of a new 1 million sq. ft. shopping and entertainment complex.

The complex is being built on an old Marine Air Station. The large structure in the back is one of two enormous blimp hangars.

This planned development is somewhat controversial because it is less than five miles from three other mega-complexes, the Tustin Marketplace, South Coast Plaza, and the Spectrum.

When this complex is completed, there will be three Costcos within about a five mile radius.

Good shot Jeremy, gotta wonder what the bird's thinking...
Holiday wishes to you and your family.

Every time I drive by there I wonder what their future plans for the hangars are now.

Isn't this the old Moffett field? I take it they've deactivated it? Gotta shop, shop, shop. Consume, consume, consume. Problem is, by the time some of these people get around to making investments, the leading indicators are for a downturn. Which is where we are now! Hope it survives!

Nice selective color, btw.

Well you better save your money. You and the famdamily will want to visit there often! :-)....
Too, too much. I've always like the open field with those old hangars jutting up.
