    The Runway mall is an outdoor shopping and dining center, nested in the heart of West LA. The mall has a parking garage attached to it, and it's surrounded by luxury apartments in the Playa Vista area. This mall has four major buildings, and mainly serves the Silicon Beach neighborhood.

    This is a very cool urban shopping area with a great farmers market on Saturday from 10 am-2 pm. They have a beautiful Whole Foods and Cedars Sinai and a Chinese restaurant that looks great!!

    I would give one star but I put two because it is a very safe place to live. But it's NOT worth the cost of your freedom. If you value your liberty do not stay in this building. They find endless ways/ "excuses" disguised as "building policy" or "Safty drills" to ENTER your apartment without without you having to be home. All they do is knock and wait 30 or less second before using a master key to come right into your unit for things like " making sure you can hear your fire alarm" and " routine balcony inspections". They just send you an email telling you the day ( with maybe a week notice , or two weeks if your lucky) and if you were out of town you have absolutely no way of preventing them for entering. It's like nothing I've ever experienced before and I've lived in 18 luxuary apartment buildings in 6 major cities

    Beautiful place

    This place is so beautiful! I really like the vibes here so I'll definitely return! I had attended the event taste of runway where we got a ticket and the restaurants provided sample bites!! It was so delicious especially the chicken burgers and the cheeseburgers and the french fries and many more and it was a lot of food that I actually got to take some home for leftovers and eat it the next day! Some vendors included ice cream, urban plates, neighbors, etc. I thought it ended at 830 and was so sad because i still had some tickets leftover!! Its my fault! Can i use these tic for nexx years event? Loo I seen they have a theatre here and lots of restaurants, whole foods market, and theres a structure w/ plenty of parking! There was also a band playing music and the scenery was just my kinda vibe!!!

    Town Center is where the fun begins.

    I enjoy coming to the Runway after a great walk in the walking path. You can shop, dine and catch a movie all the same place. This is great area to relax and enjoy your day or evening!

    Great place around the area to hang out/chill. A lot of restaurants in the area and also Wholefoods. It is near a dog park which is about one block away.

    I come here for the Saturday farmers market and it's always very cute! Tones of good food and crafts. I even picked up this awesome candle from one of the local vendors

    Platform is a fun outdoor/indoor shopping center located in Culver City. I honestly hadn't heard…read moremuch about this shopping center until one of my favorite stores broadcasted that they would be having a pop up located here. Platform was fairly simple to navigate in many ways. Coming from Ventura county it was a little bit of a drive which was to be expected but luckily this center isn't far off the 405 freeway which did make this very easy to get to. Also the parking garage is clear and colorful (easy to find). Seemed safe enough and I felt comfortable leaving my car behind, haha, harder to say in some parts of LA these days. The parking garage was reasonable on pricing and it had an attendant so easy peasy. I appreciated that they had multiple maps and signage so you can find where you're heading with ease. This shopping mall is slightly more upscale, I said it. Not $$$$ price point but the restaurants and some shops are a little boujee for the average person. It's no rodeo drive but I could see this maybe not being the most accessible price point for the average person. We knew the content of the shops though so we were fine but did we blow a few hundred dollars, definitely. They had a nice ratio of clothing shops, to home goods, and restaurants/drink stalls. However, in grand total the amount of stores is slightly underwhelming. We walked this shopping center pretty quickly and were eager to see more cute shops. Felt a little empty in some ways but if you come here in mind of a few stores you know you want to see then your fine, this spot just wouldn't be on my regular shopping rotation as there isn't enough for me to see to justify the drive. Our favorite stores though were definitely Catbird (jewelry) and the Mojave Flea Trading Post (heard this was only a pop up store through 2023). I'm hoping they'll maintain the good stores and continue to get creative in bringing more to this center as it has potential and overall was a nice and chill environment for a girls shopping day.

    This is specifically regarding the parking structure for the Platform. It's terrible, truly…read moreterrible. Came in on a Friday night to stop and pick up food at sweetgreen who validates. When I entered at 8:30 pm there was an attendant at the gate. When I left at 8:50pm there was no attendant and putting my validated ticket into the machine at the gate made me pay $2. Pressed on the call button resulted in no response. The next week on a Friday, I pull in around 8:25pm and there's an attendant there so I told her about my experience before (validated ticket with no attendant) and she was not very helpful but said that there needs to be an attendant for a validated ticket to work. So, I asked how long she'll be there until, which she said 10pm. I left 15-20 minutes after entering the structure. As I was pulling up the gate, I SEE HER WALKING AWAY FROM THE GATE. I waive at her with my ticket and she looks at me and shakes her head (sorry I can't help you) as she continues to walk away. WTF! This parking structure is absolutely ridiculous. The "complimentary 15 minutes" is also a joke because no one can get in and out in under 15 minutes. Don't go to the Platform if you have to use the structure to park.

    Wow this place has really become a ghost town. I remember when it was bustling with stores and…read morepeople and music and now there is still music... a dj was there trying to keep people upbeat on a Friday but half the stores are empty. Since Nordstrom moved out it's just so eerie. Not a lot going on. I happened to come in as I was checking out a potential new gym which is coming in - Club Studio - and they're going to be pretty huge and take the old Bloomingdales space, people were super friendly and helpful so hopefully that will help but Santa Monica is gonna need a lot more investment in order to drive the people back to shop in person because there is really no good selection of stores of value - just a few boutiques and some brands like Nike or Johnny Was or Paige. Din Tai Fung and Cheesecake on the top floor which is great but other than that... let's hope for more stores in the future.

    I used to love shopping at Nordstrom Rack in the Fox Hills Mall (Westfield Culver City). I've been…read morea loyal customer for years and every visit I'd easily spend $400+ without any issues. Unfortunately, an experience about two years ago completely changed how I feel about this store. During my last visit, I was racially profiled and followed throughout the store by two asset protection employees (one male and one female). I have no idea why I was singled out. Despite being treated that way, I still purchased around $600 worth of items that day. What made it even more upsetting was seeing one of them waiting near the front door as I was leaving, as if they expected me to do something wrong. I even waved and laughed in disbelief because it was so obvious. He stood at the door after following me, once the second person started following me, then left that post after I walked out with my purchased items. What's even more frustrating is that I saw someone else (same ethnicity as the security that were following me) in the store actually stealing items, but because they were so focused on watching me, they completely ignored her. I saw her walk right out the door after stuffing her pockets and purse with stolen items. Unbelievable! That experience was disappointing. I left the store wishing I hadn't spent a dime there. Since then, I've never returned to that location. I even tried shopping at the Nordstrom Rack on Fig at 7th downtown recently, and unfortunately experienced the same thing, being followed around the store. Because of these experiences, I've decided I will no longer shop at Nordstrom Rack or Nordstrom. No customer who is spending their hard-earned money should feel targeted or profiled while simply trying to shop. Prior to the incident where I was followed around the store, I had another frustrating experience at this location. On a previous visit, I purchased clothes and other items. When I walked out, the alarm at the door went off, but another customer was exiting at the same time so I assumed it was related to her purchase. I had two bags of clothes and other items, and didn't notice anything unusual when I quickly checked my bags. About a month later, when I went to wear one of the dresses, I discovered the security sensor was still attached. It was black and blended in with the dress, which is probably why I didn't notice it earlier. I then checked the other clothes and two more dresses that I hadn't worn yet and found that they also still had sensors attached, hidden on the slip of the dress. I returned to the store to have them removed, but initially the staff refused because I didn't have the receipt. Fortunately, I had used my Nordstrom credit card and they were able to look up the purchase and finally remove the sensors. This situation could have been avoided if the employee had properly checked the dresses (since they hide their sensors) before bagging them. These are higher-priced items that typically have sensors attached, so you would think staff would be trained to know where the sensors are placed. But I don't totally blame the staff because they were hidden. Why not make them visible? Why place a black sensor on a black dress? Customers shouldn't have to inspect their purchases for security tags after leaving the store. Goodbye, Nordstroms! It was fun while it lasted.
