- The Third Street Promenade is a pedestrian street in Santa Monica, California, United States. It is considered one of the premier shopping destinations in West Los Angeles and frequently draws crowds from all over Los Angeles County. Due to its proximity to the Pacific Ocean coupled with Los Angeles's mild climate, it has become a popular tourist destination. It is part of a larger redevelopment area in Downtown Santa Monica. Third Street has been a center of business in Santa Monica since the town's inception in the late 1800s. The Promenade's roots date back to the 1960s when the Santa Monica Mall was developed and an outdoor shopping promenade similar to the one known today, though less upscale in nature. By the late 1970s, it was in serious decline. The area was gentrified in the late 1980s and early 1990s to become what it is today. Third Street had the original Starbucks Hear Music Coffeehouse before it went out of business, but it boasts a Mann Theatres, AMC Theatres, and Loews Theatres, as well as a popular farmers' market. Larger tenants include Anthropologie, H&M, French Connection UK, Barnes & Noble, Urban Outfitters, a three-story Gap, Armani Exchange, Guess?, Apple, American Eagle Outfitters and Pottery Barn. On July 16, 2003, an elderly man, George Russell Weller, lost control of his car and drove through a crowded farmer's market on the promenade, killing a number of people. Street performers and entertainers are a frequent sight on the street. On a typical Saturday night in the summer, singer-songwriters, classical guitar players, magicians, clowns, hip-hop dancers, lounge singers, session drummers, and many harder-to-classify artists line up approximately 50 feet (15 m) apart from each other all along Third Street. Santa Monica Place (1980) is an adjacent mall designed by Frank Gehry and built before the Santa Monica Mall was converted into the Promenade. It is where Pee-Wee's bike was stolen in the motion picture Pee-Wee's Big Adventure The Third Street Promenade is featured in the video game Midnight Club: Los Angeles.
- Third Street Promenade – deptak w Santa Monica w Kalifornii w USA. Popularne miejsce zakupów wśród mieszkańców zachodniego Los Angeles oraz całego hrabstwa Los Angeles. Z powodu atrakcyjnego położenia nad Oceanem Spokojnym i łagodnego klimatu, także ośrodek turystyczny. Third Street była centrum biznesu od chwili powstania miasta pod koniec 1800, a początki promenady sięgają lat 60. XX wieku. Koniec lat 70. przyniósł upadek tamtejszego ulicznego handlu, lecz w wyniku migracji lepiej sytuowanej ludności na te tereny, w latach 80. nastąpiło ożywienie, a na początku lat 90. obszar uzyskał swój obecny charakter. Powstał tam pierwszy Starbucks Hear Music Coffeehouse, znajdują się tam także teatry Manna, AMC i Loews oraz popularne targowisko płodów rolnych. Swoje siedziby mają tu następujące firmy i marki: Anthropologie, French Connection, Borders, Barnes & Noble, Urban Outfitters, trójkondygnacyjny Gap, Armani Exchange, Apple i Pottery Barn. Częstym widokiem w tym miejscu są uliczni wykonawcy i artyści. Santa Monica Place jest przylegającym do centrum handlowego budynkiem, zbudowanym zanim Santa Monica Mall zostało zamienione na promenadę. Third Street jest również miejscem o najwyższej koncentracji ludzi bezdomnych w Santa Monica.
