Speaks out

What new stores would you like to see in Westwood Village to
replace recently closed stores? Amy Eng Third-year,
molecular, cell and developmental biology “I think
there are a lot of small food stores, but I’d like to see
bigger chains. I usually don’t go shopping there (for other
things).” Matt Willgenburg First-year, electrical
engineering “I’m not much of a big spender but
I’d like cheap clothes stores … like Old Navy. … I get my
pants there (for) like 20 bucks.” Eddie Legaspi
Fifth-year, biochemistry “I know that Westwood
Village has more personality because there are small business
owners. I’d like to see the big retailers move out. “¦
Get Best Buy out of here, get Ralphs out of here.”
Phoebe Chang UCLA alumna “I want to see
cheap grocery stores and maybe cool bookstores, like in other
college towns. They have really nice, old, used books.”
