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.

That’s the way to do it. Give no advanced notice to the thieves. Just empty the store and move on.

---- "But the mayor London Broil said things are not that bad..."

She also said that the Biden administration was not doing "enough" to help San Francisco.

Funny spelling of the name, by the way.

The mayor has also said that the Westfield Mall site could be turned into a soccer stadium, so her grip on reality may not be so great.

My mom used to take my sister and me back-to-school shopping there when it used to be The Emporium department store. Sad to see what's happening to SF.

That’ll hurt the smash-and-grabber’s holiday shopping season!

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.

Same reason that they aren’t called The Arlington Cowboys.

The 49ers were ahead of the curve and fled San Francisco years ago.

Same for the Dallas Cowboys. They haven’t played in Dallas since Texas Stadium was built.

Mayor London Broil weighed in.....said things are “not THAT bad”........ She also
said the abandoned Westfield Mall site could be turned into a “soccer stadium.”

........seems her grip on reality may not be so great.......


LOL......maybe if she took a pause from looting the
city treasury, she’d get a clearer picture of the problem?

There are a few other sports teams who do not play in the city whose name they carry.

The Washington Redskins commanders team plays in Suburban Maryland. The LA Chargers and LA Rams play in Suburban Inglewood. The Giants and Jets play in New Jersey.

I’m sure there may be some others who don’t actually play in the city limits of the city name they have.

It's just as well.

You can really hurt yourself stepping on these.

Arlington is a lot closer to Dallas than Santa Clara is to Frisco.

We have the same issue in Southern California with the Angels baseball team. The owner insists on calling them "the Los Angeles Angels" which many of us in Orange County resent. Anaheim, where the team is located, is most definitely not Los Angeles.

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