Our original field note

This is the pinnacle and flagship of all Nordstrom experiences and anyone in the area has to check it out. The store is packed with a cornucopia of of southern Orange county stereotypes. Even so it's a great store and a great experience and it's like walking into another dimension where everyone is happy clean and buying expensive clothes. It's been a couple of years since I've updated this review and I can tell you that this place is still a very nice shopping destination.
