“Beloved mall” might be a bit of a stretch. I’m in S.F., and it was always more of a tourist mecca than a place beloved by locals. In terms of foot traffic, the place probably peaked in the early 2000s... and then Newsom happened... and for the next 20 years tourism and convention business began a steady decline as up as the crazy, drugged-out street people took over the downtown.
I have to almost laugh at the utter absurdity of Newsom, a total incompetent fool going over to Davos to lecture the world... while claiming no qualification whatsoever beyond than being one of the world’s leading self-appointed anti-Trump trolls.
The circular escalator at Nordstroms was pretty cool.
“... the utter absurdity of Newsom, a total incompetent fool”
He was the choice of California voters. Can’t leave that out of the equation.
