All of which is still there. Plus the purpose for which it was built. Selling stuff.
All that's left is the galleria and the futuristic Rogers-esque Pompidou inside-outside HVACs and such (I have no idea how to call it, but I love it).All of which is still there. Plus the purpose for which it was built. Selling stuff.
Of course it was. That's all it ever was.
I like to think that perhaps in thirty years or so the then owners (perhaps prodded by the city) spend sack fulls of cash to restore the galleria to its original, "heritage" state.I'm far less upset about the new level of retail blending in and fading to the background than I am the neutering of the main galleria portion of the mall.
It has been working recently, but it seems to have been shortened somewhat.Maybe this was addressed earlier on, but did anyone else notice that the illuminated art piece that never worked was removed ... do we know if a new art piece is being installed or if its being repaired?
The Bay used to have that cafeteria on the 8th floor with a view looking above Old City Hall and west to NPS. The windows were large panes of glass. I'd go back for the view, but it's now closed.
