LEGO Leaves San Francisco — before Christmas — as Retail Flight Continues
Breitbart ^ | 12/04/2023 | JOEL B. POLLAK

Posted on 12/04/2023 6:32:20 AM PST by ChicagoConservative27

The LEGO store in the San Francisco Centre mall has officially closed, right in the middle of the Christmas retail season, joining a retail exodus from the city that is driven by crime, homelessness, drugs, and the nation’s slowest post-pandemic recovery.

As Breitbart News has noted, Westfield stopped making mortgage payments on the San Francisco Centre mall in June, after losing Nordstrom, which was its anchor tenant. Many other retail businesses, small and large, boutique and chain, have left.

Pat Riley had many accomplishments, not this loser.

Well Arlington is closer to Fort Worth, so it should be The Fort Worth Cowboys, if anything.

That would be more appropriate, since Ft. Worth, "where the West begins," is famous for its stock yards, which are now a tourist attractdion.

Minnesota has the same thing with Minneapolis and St. Paul, they even split I-35, like DFW does, so they are the Minnesota Vikings.

So really, it should be the Texas Cowboys.

I think that’s why the baseball team is the Texas Rangers, instead of being called the Dallas Rangers, since they aren’t actually in Dallas.

Correct. Now at least the Stars and Mavericks do play in Dallas.

FC Dallas plays in Frisco.

The Cotton Bowl is in Dallas, the ancestral home of the Cowboys.

If the developer of the mall property stopped making mortgage payments on the mall, then maybe Lego didn’t have any choice but to leave.

It’s hard to clean Lego pieces when they’re caked with feces.

Why do they continue to call the team the San Francisco 49ers? They're now in Santa Clara, which is 40 miles away, and although it's also a blue city, Santa Clara's culture and atmosphere are poles apart from that of Frisco.

Really? And are you also going to complain that the New York Jets play in New Jersey?

The Bills are New York’s team.

And even they play in Orchard Park.

The ironic part of that picture is that Lego has released a few sets using that brown piece to represent poop, and some other sets using it to represent chocolate ice cream.

The full name of the current Los Angeles Angels changed from the Los Angeles Angels to the California Angels in 1965 before becoming the Anaheim Angels in 1997. Owner Arte Moreno changed the name to the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim in 2005, and the club dropped the of Anaheim moniker prior to the 2016 season. Their stadium is located in Anaheim.

I hope so. I last ate there in '13 and still have some of their seasoned salt.

Sadly, the Civil War museum in Ft. Worth is closing. It emphasized the role of Texas in the war. But harassment from the wokesters likely wore its management down, so it is now "cancelled."

Since Lego play requires conceptual thinking, no Legos were ever stolen
