Platform

This is a cool little place with great plants and stores that creates its own ambience. It's a little pricey but a great place for people watching.

Such a pretty little area! I accidentally stumbled across this trying to find a coffee shop nearby and couldn't get over how beautiful one random block could be. There's a few more mainstream shops like Boba Guys and Blue Bottle, accompanied by some pop up shops and other small boutique stores that seem to change out on occasion. Highly recommend coming out here on less busy days just to kick back and relax for a few hours, even if you don't end up buying anything. Parking in the garage across the street is also incredibly cheap. Going to make this a regular stop for me!

Advertises 15 minutes free parking. This is false, they most likely round up and you actually only have 14 minutes. This is important to know because it has the only Supercharger along highway 10 if you're driving to/from the westside. Enough for a quick boost. I check the time as we're driving in, waiting for at least 10 seconds before taking the ticket to see if the minute flips over. It doesn't and someone is behind me so I take it and pull in. Charge for about 9 minutes after a minute to park. Just about to pull out, but have to wait for a small parade of cars. Stuck waiting for them to pay their tickets. That's what the five minute buffer is for. The minute flips over just as I'm pulling up. I know I have at least ten seconds left. But the machine charges for a full hour. The attendant doesn't care. "Everyone has to wait. You're over 15 minutes. You pay like everyone else." Besides the terrible customer service, that's factually incorrect. Can I go back and at least get a full charge for my $2 admission? No, I can't back up because there's too many cars behind me, and I can't go forward without paying up. It's only $2 so not a highway robbery, though in certain regards it kinda is one.

The platform is beautiful and I love the stores in the area. There is a parking garage near the platform, but it's not free. I like that it's across the street from the Expo line (light rail) so it's accessible by public transit. My only issue is that it's an area fill with over priced good. $7 ice cream, $1,250 chairs, and $8 juices and coffee. Clearly they are marketing towards a very specific audience.
