Trolley.

            The Grove is a retail and entertainment complex in Los Angeles, California, built, owned, and operated by Rick J. Caruso and his company Caruso Affiliated on parts of the historical Farmers Market.

The complex fills space previously occupied by an orchard and nursery (the last remains of a dairy farm owned by A.F. Gilmore in the latter part of the 19th century). The developers began demolition of an antiques alley and other older buildings on Third Street behind CBS Television City, and broke ground for the new mall in 1999. There was some controversy over potentially increasing traffic in a busy Los Angeles neighborhood that already offered several other shopping venues, including the Beverly Center. The Grove opened in 2002 and has been an extremely popular outdoor mall ever since.
 
The Warner Bros. tabloid television news program Extra is also taped in the complex, usually in front of the animated fountains.

The 575,000-square-foot (53,400 m2) outdoor marketplace is located in Los Angeles' Fairfax District. Caruso Affiliated claims to have modeled its architectural designs on indigenous Los Angeles buildings, influenced by classic historic districts, with shopping alleys, broad plazas, and intimate courtyards. The design features a series of Art Deco-style false fronts, with boxy interiors similar to those found in other contemporary stores.

The Grove features a large center park with an animated fountain designed by WET. Its music-fountain show plays every hour, though the feature has a non-musical program in between shows. The water's choreography is reminiscent of the Fountains of Bellagio in Las Vegas—also designed by WET—but on a much smaller scale. The fountain also has a statue, The Spirit of Los Angeles. Live shows are often performed there, or on the grassy area by the fountains. An internal transit system uses electric-powered trolley cars to link The Grove and the adjacent Farmers Market.
The Grove is anchored by both Nordstrom and Crate & Barrel, and has flagship stores for Abercrombie and Fitch, Barnes and Noble, and Apple. Other stores in the center include Banana Republic, Michael Kors, two-storey GAP and J.Crew locations, Nike, MAC Cosmetics, COACH,Anthropologie, Barneys New York CO-OP, ZARA, Kiehl's, and American Girl Place.
 
The Grove's many restaurants include chains like Maggiano's Little Italy and The Cheesecake Factory as well as smaller, local restaurants like Wood Ranch BBQ and Grill, Morels French Steakhouse, The Whisper Lounge, and La Piazza, as well as the upcoming Gordon Ramsay restaurant, The Fat Cow. The Farmer's Market features numerous non-chain restaurants that have existed there for sometimes decades.
 
The main entertainment venue is a 14-screen movie theater complex owned by Pacific Theatres.
