There are three ways to get to this location.

1. The easiest is to get in the right lane and right before PCH, there is a little one-way turn that takes your directly in to the shopping center.
2. Turn right at San Miguel (light), left at Avocado (light), go down Avocado, past the library at light turn left in to shopping center (I think light is Corporate Center...not sure..if you miss this turn, you end up on PCH)
3. Go all the way down to PCH, merge right, then first light turn right (Avocado), and right at first light (again this is the street whose name I don't know)...you are now in the shopping center
