I've never heard it called that. Will have to look it up.
I hadn't gone shopping there for a couple of years due to the COVID-19 shutdown of everything. Went this weekend and was amazed. BART is filthy, you can count on seeing homeless people on the cars. People put their feet (shoes on) up on the seats, making the dirty places even dirtier.
The Walnut Creek BART station is still undergoing extensive renovation of its parking area, I think some of it may be to control possible criminal traffic flow in and out. There is already a police substation there (just like Eastmont Mall in Oakland).
Earlier that afternoon, the #4 free shuttle to the Broadway Shopping Plaza was out of service, with "Police" "Call 911" signs flashing. Passengers were left waiting and some headed to the shopping district on foot.
Broadway Plaza has Jersey barriers at each end of the street, to keep the motorist drive-by looters (remember last November and December?) out. This means the regular #4 shopping shuttle can't enter the area at its regular stop and has to take a detour about a block away.
Back to the BART station. The incident yesterday evening had police blocking the major open entrance, with lots of cars twinkling. There were about a dozen cops at the fare gates telling people to stay away and get into the nearby parking garage to stay safe. Some officers entered the station with armor and guns (rubber bullets? They were long guns) and shields.
A drone was circling the place to get a better view of things, probably a cop drone.
So after maybe about eight of the officers entered the station's fare gates, they started getting people off the train, the passengers came down the escalator with their hands up. One guy recently released said, "All I was trying to do was get home."
What was puzzling was a couple outside, one woman and a man with a black baclava knitted mask, looking agitated. The man was making agitated obscene gestures at the cops, who ignored him.
Never heard “Little Geneva”
Who ever said that and what’s it supposed to mean?
