The sudden closure of the Calabasas Marmalade is distressing, for several reasons. I went to the Caruso offices recently to ask them to please repaint or upgrade the painted walkways into RalphsMarket. Nothing happened; yet, Caruso is spending millions on his construction, and spent $100 million trying to become the Mayor of Los Angeles. The Commons was envisioned much like a traditional New England Commons: a welcoming gathering place for the community, not something driven by profit. I feel sad for the (former) employees of the Calabasas Marmalade.
