ROBERT STEUTEVILLE JAN. 1, 1998
“The most attractive” Toys R Us store in the country is located on a downtown intersection of Santa Mon-ica, California, with an impressive corner entrance and street-fronts fully lined with windows, according to a recent publication of The National Trust for Historic Preservation. A brief synopsis of how Santa Monica was able to get the big box retailer to break from its usual parking lot fronted suburban mold is one of the case studies in Better Models for Superstores: Alternatives to Big-Box Sprawl, a 58-page booklet. The publication costs $10, or $5/each for 10 or more copies. Contact: Information series, National Trust for Historic Preservation, 1785 Massachusetts Ave. NW, Washington, DC 20036. 202/588-6286.
