#serramonte mall Yesterday I had to take the Tesla for charging at a Tesla charging station atop a parking garage in Serramonte Mall. Anna and Luah, you remember what the mall was like some years ago before Covid. I had one hour and ten minutes to wait while the car was charging. I was able to walk around the mall. A saying in English applies here: "It was a ghost of its former self." One-half the shops and a major department store (J.C. Penney's) were gone. One of our old hangouts-The Elephant Walk Restaurant was gone. Foot traffic was light. There were murals on many walls bravely depicting new shops coming in the future. I did find a decent sandwich shop Ike's.
The Capitola mall has a Target in it. The mall mostly attracts Mexicans and their spawn. Walmart and the rest probably prefer not to squeeze into a mall and pay rent to the mall owner.
