EVERYDAY

Ward: There are hundreds of shops at the Victoria Ward
Centers, including Linea, Na Mea, the 99-cent store, and As Seen on TV.
Ward Warehouse and Ward Center also have dozens of restaurants that
will satisfy any appetite. And, my favorite, is the 16-screen megaplex
theatre is across the street from Ward Warehouse. The seats are
comfortable and roomy and the screens are huge. So, if you’re in a leisurely
mood or would prefer watching someone else have an action-packed
evening, head on over to Ward.
