Santa Monica 3rd Street Promenade -- History
You will notice quite a wide variety of stores at the Santa Monica 3rd Street Promenade. This isn't your typical suburban mall featuring "all the usual suspects." One reason for this lies in the Promenade's history: Third Street has been Santa Monica's main shopping district since the early days of the 20th century. When I was an elementary school-aged girl back in the late '50's and early '60's, Third Street was already a bustling place. Back then, you could still drive down the street...and park at curbside meters, if you didn't want to use a parking lot.By the time the late '60's rolled around, automobiles were banned from the area and the pedestrian-only promenade was installed. What's unusual about the area, though, is that through the passing years, the 3rd Street Promenade hasn't become run-down. Rather, the mix of stores along the walkway has become decidedly more UPSCALE over time! Today, you'll find over 200 stores and 100 dining options along the Promenade and the blocks adjacent to it. Many names are recognizable as part of national or regional chains; yet, many other stores and restaurants are totally unique, one-of-a-kind venues. You'll find merchandise of many different types---clothing for the whole family, jewelry, home decor (including original art works), accessories, books, stationery, electronics and toys.
