Wow!
Pavilions newly-renovated store in West Hollywood (under construction for the past year) opened with a big splash over the weekend!
If you recall, I penned a post a couple of days ago about the upcoming unveiling (which has been much-anticipated by residents in neighborhoods with access nearby).

What a great reader response!
To tout the grand opening, there have been a handful of chi-chi wine-tasting signings over the weekend to the delight of the locals.
A highlight event is obviously the one featuring the "Queer Eye Chef" tonight (July 26th) between the hours of 4-7 pm.
Wine turned out in the Russian River area of California is being toasted.
The "new" outlet @ Robertson and Santa Monica Boulevard is obviously the gem in Safeway's crown.
When I popped in to the grocery store this morning, Shoppers appeared to be walking on air in a dream-like state, as they gazed starry-eyed at the smorgasbord of tempting delights on display all around them in the beautifully-lit aesthetically-pleasing store.
The extensive collection of quality liquor is now housed in well-crafted mahogany showcases.
And, there is a walk-in cooler featuring chilled wines with labels that sing out from around the globe.
At the Sushi Bar, the staff were splicing and dicing and wrapping (and what-have-you) as curious lookie-loos gazed on in wonder at their precision hand skills.
A Galeto bar looked tempting, too.
In the produce section, discriminating chefs will obviously be thrilled with the wide selection of vegetables and fruits not often available around town in less-stocked grocery stores.
When I stumbled across the bakery at the back of Pavilions, I was knocked out by the wide variety of bread and rolls on display, set in a quaint homespun environment that appeals to the senses.
Although this outlet always maintained one of the best selections of fresh flowers and exotic plants in the lower mainland, the greenery has expanded none-the-less.
Judging by the response from shoppers swarming into the store this morning - and all the ooh's-and-aah's being uttered around me - Pavilions' entrance into an upper niche in the grocery realm is going to be a big success.
See 'ya there!
