West Chevy Chase Dr, Pacific-Edison

One of the main streets of Glendale, Brand Blvd does not have much to offer aesthetically-- lots of traffic, dirty sidewalks, and many rundown establishments. The only highlight is the Americana at Brand, a beautiful new outdoor mall that is like an oasis from the unpleasantness of the rest of the area. I wouldn't recommend Brand (or the rest of metropolitan Glendale, for that matter) as a day trip, but for the excellent shopping at the Americana.
