More on Garden Walk


Just a few steps from the sitting statues, sheets of water fall from the walls the sound of which has some therapeutic calming effect on the passersby, nay shoppers, who may have roamed around, up and about, on shops and food outlets, etc., the Anaheim Garden Walk mall. It is not rare to find siting tables and benches around the area, too.
And if one tarries far longer into the night, the mall comes into the open masked with lights and shadows. The place has made a mark as it rivals equally popular and other service and entertainment venues; the address is a regular stop-over for those catching up the late night movies or simply entertain and meet friends on some cozy well appointed restaurants.

Waiting for Shoppers

Thursday evening was a short drive to the Anaheim Garden Walk, our first in the place now frequented by shoppers this side of Orange county. The huge complex is host to shops, restaurants, health spa, fitness center, etc. It has an Imax theater along with regular cinemas; and the place is still in expansion mood. On the second level, two movie screens mounted overhead, outside by the promenade, continuously show previews of current and upcoming attractions.
In one of the sitting corners, we spotted these figures that attract attention from enthusiasts. Had to wait for some time before we can get a private moment for a photo shoot, albeit in a rush. Was not able to identify the master artist of the sitting figures, and next time I will take note of that, if there is one.
By 9:25PM the music pervading about the mall was joined by the sound of the Phantasmic fireworks, obviously at the Rivers of America, yes, where the Mark Twain steamboat rolls off nearby Disneyland.
