Visitors to California, especially on their first visit to the US, cannot fail to be impressed
by the ubiquitousness of the ultimate
American shopping venue, the mall. Whether these are of the “strip mall†variety, strung out along major arteries on the edges of most towns, or showpiece complexes in desirable neighbourhoods, they unabash-edly glorify commercialism and consist mostly of well-known multinational chains. The summit of consumer excess is Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills, where the Hollywood stars go to shop. Many chic designers have flagship boutiques on the strip, and appointment-only menswear merchant Bijan, at no. 420, claims to be the most expensive shop in the world, with the average suit costing $50,000. - source: Rough Guide
