Speaks Out
How would you improve Westwood nightlife?
"I’d put an Urban Outfitters
in there because it’s a good store. I’d also get entertainers
like they have on Third Street. I’d probably have events there,
like festivals and block off the streets for people to walk
on."
Mandi Dobbs
"Westwood needs hash bars."
Farouk Gandhi
"If dancing was allowed, it would make a big difference. Parking
is another problem.
I think that new parking structure is a big help. There is also
an abundance of teenagers who are annoying; just hanging around in
the streets doesn’t look good. Dancing in bars is definitely a big
one."
Miguel Iniguez
"I would definitely add more places to dance and more
restaurants that cater to
students and our lifestyles. Most of the things you see right
now are out of the economic range for students and also they’re
just not fun. If you bring more people in who want to hang out in
Westwood, then more businesses will follow because there will be a
street crowd."
Karishima Kiri
"I would like to see some nicer places to eat, classier places
maybe. Westwood
is a fast-food heaven. I wish there was a nicer, sit-down, good
atmosphere restaurant
and better food also."
Alfonzo Luna
"I think it’d be good if there were more live bands and live
music.
I think that’s what Westwood lacks the most right now – music
and dancing."
Joe Madro
"I would put stuff in there that relates to students more and
were more affordable.
I would put a grocery store in there – something that was
affordable."
Jake Stewart
"I know for me, I don’t go down to Westwood simply because of
parking.
It’s just such a pain – when you want to go down there real
quick to just grab something and there is no parking. For me
it’s easier to just run down to Brentwood instead."
