Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 16:19:09 GMT

By Eliyahu Kamisher | BloombergSan Francisco’s Westfield mall was for decades the city’s premier shopping destination, a nine-story complex in the heart of downtown known for its iconic glass dome and spiral escalators.These days, the property is struggling with empty storefronts and falling foot traffic — so much so that owners Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield and Brookfield Corp. are giving the mall up to lenders, underscoring the wider challenges for brick-and mortar retail. Last weekend brought a particularly deep blow: the anchor Nordstrom Inc. store closed after 35 years.Just an hour’s drive south, Westfield has another shopping center in San Jose that’s booming. Located in the heart of Silicon Valley, it’s added new stores, including a three-story Eataly eatery and a luxury wing with brands like Tiffany & Co. and Versace. The mall’s sales have increased by 66% since 2019.RELATED: Valley Fair rebounds: San Jose mall adds merchants, hits record sales and visitsThe contrast highlig...

MonteA: And…Q: At the height of the afternoon commute a couple of years ago, I was the last car with the green light turning left onto El Monte Road from El Camino Real in Mountain View. There would have been plenty of time to complete my turn, if traffic were allowed to flow naturally.But I became caught in the middle of El Camino Real, where three lanes of southbound traffic began heading toward me, when the self-driving car in front of me came to a complete stop, for no apparent reason.
