Oh, the sweet siren's song of discount shopping. In spring of 2010, Loehmann's will go live in the same shopping center that houses a really amazing Nordstrom Rack. This shopping center also happens to be across the street from South Coast Plaza, and about eight miles away from Off Fifth and Neiman Marcus Last Call. Loehmann's has had a spotty history in the area—they folded one of their Nexxt concept stores last year, but let's hope this one gains some traction.
