I remember Port o Call shopping center "back in the day" before they tore it down and put big apartments there. Slimy stoners and other krispy crustaceans once inhabited.
It had a bicentennial motif. Who can also forget the long gone cinemas at Edgewater ? I guess a lot of people! Foster City was the basis of the 70s film "over the edge" where there were many delinquent teenagers. Sounds familiar!

Pacifica can't even support the stores we now have. Put them out of business to briefly support something new (as if) and then go right back to shopping over the hill for everything. Probably complaining bitterly that the mom and pops are gone. Take off the rose-tinted glasses and take a look at what this town really is.

But, but, things really do look better through rose colored glasses. Why, when I wear them Kathy Meeh's habitually incorrect comments read like a NIMBY's manifesto of No Growth, No Economic Development, and to hell with all those Yessie's and Peebles and Trammell Crow quarry measures. Why take that away from me. Why???? Rose colored glasses work to rid the world of ugliness, they really do.

Ha I got drunk at that restaurant by the bay. Almost fell into the water.

Was wondering if they would let me fish off the back.

The only thing is Todd 335, your comments are frequently incorrect, twisted, and it seems you are against ALL significant improvement, including development and highway modernization, in this city. Your ongoing petty actions against development, and attempts to legally obstruct developer projects (running up their cost or driving them away) is well known.

And, oh by the way, Google probably considers you to be an irrational, chronic complainer. Remember this: "Assault complaint rejected.." Well, Google didn't take the article down, boohoo to you.

You should never demand someone to do something you have no control over. It makes you look weak.
