Westwood Village, Los Angeles, California
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Westwood Village is the main shopping and commercial center of the Westwood district in the City of Los Angeles, California.
It is roughly located north of Wilshire Boulevard, east of Gayley Avenue, south of Le Conte Avenue, and west of Hilgard Avenue.
It was created by the Janss Company in the 1920s, as an autonomous shopping district and headquarters of the Janss Company. Its boom was complimented by the boom of UCLA, developing as a shopping district not just for the residents of Westwood but also for the university.
Today, Westwood Village houses many small and large shops and restaurants. It is has been noted that lack of low cost or free parking has been a problem, and may have led to several businesses moving out of the center in recent years such as Gap and Office Depot. The local commercial association has met in the past to discuss several alternatives but no visible solution has yet resulted. It is also the home of the UCLA Armand Hammer Museum.
