Now we have J-Crew and a "high-end" cupcake store.  The vast majority of Malibu's 13,000 residents are middle class folks who laugh at the self-centered antics of the rich and famous amongst us.  Thank God they lock themselves up in their gilded personal prisons each night to protect the rest of us real Malibuites.  Luxist my ass!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[azumaguy]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 17th 2009 2:38PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Malibu's New Shopping Center ]]></title><link>http://www.luxist.com/2009/04/16/malibus-new-shopping-center/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.luxist.com/2009/04/16/malibus-new-shopping-center/</guid><description><![CDATA[How any self respecting person can get excited about pricey clothes, cupcakes and other useless stuff in this economy is beyond me.  As a local in Malibu, I am disgusted by the loss of our small businesses and the lumberyard.  We have to waste gas to drive 30 minutes each way to get a fricking hammer and nails.  This is progress?  A green shopping center cannot make up for the loss of what really matters in our town ...small town local businesses who actually care about us.  No one I know in Malibu is rich.  ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[catlipz]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 17th 2009 4:20PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Malibu's New Shopping Center ]]></title><link>http://www.luxist.com/2009/04/16/malibus-new-shopping-center/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.luxist.com/2009/04/16/malibus-new-shopping-center/</guid><description><![CDATA[Beach delivery service????  From a clothing store?  What panties on a plate?  This is disgusting and everyone involved in the shopping center should be horrified at the excess in this time of huge unemployment.  Put in an animal shelter, a kid adoption center, an unemployment office and a food bank and call it quits.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[susan]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 17th 2009 4:33PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Malibu's New Shopping Center ]]></title><link>http://www.luxist.com/2009/04/16/malibus-new-shopping-center/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.luxist.com/2009/04/16/malibus-new-shopping-center/</guid><description><![CDATA[I can't see much reason to go here, these businesses in the mall are not viable in this economy.  High end cupcakes are mostly catering to the business and corporate world, can't imagine that HR Labs will provide enough orders to keep the bakery open and those $400 jeans are another inexcusable display of consumptive wealth which isn't PC these days.  "Andy" comments that it's good to see more business in Malibu, but I don't think this represents business that is viable and community serving.<br>Be sure to do a follow up story after the first quarter sales reports are in so we can have facts rather than rah-rahs and dissenting opinions.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[May Rindge is Mad]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 17th 2009 5:23PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Malibu's New Shopping Center ]]></title><link>http://www.luxist.com/2009/04/16/malibus-new-shopping-center/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.luxist.com/2009/04/16/malibus-new-shopping-center/</guid><description><![CDATA[This shopping center has as much identity with real Malibu as the tourists and townies who drive out here only to buy a coffee at Starbucks and gawk at each other.  It is a slap in the face for what Malibu has always been, a lovely, UNPRETENTIOUS and lowkey paradise for families, eccentrics and even the once in awhile movie star ("celebrity"--what is that??) could all ramble around peacefully.  Now we have the faux Lumberyard moniker reminding us everyday of what we do not have--basic services that every community enjoys, even Bevery Hills!  Way to go, City Council!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[OldMalibu]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 19th 2009 5:25PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Malibu's New Shopping Center ]]></title><link>http://www.luxist.com/2009/04/16/malibus-new-shopping-center/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.luxist.com/2009/04/16/malibus-new-shopping-center/</guid><description><![CDATA[This is silly, I come out here from my other place in Albuquerque to get away from stores.
