Crate & Barrel moving

The Crate & Barrel store at Westfield Topanga is moving to a bigger two-story space, a "stand alone building" on the southeast corner of Victory and Topanga. That's the Sear's parking lot that's never full. They plan to break ground in Fall 2007 and will open in Fall 2008. Wonder how long Sears will stick it out. Not that they aren't doing business. There's always people poking around the store when I walk through it to get to the rest of the mall. And Sears is definitely not the only low-budget store there, but it just seems out of place. Everything else is new and shiny and Sears is just Sears.
