A Ghost Of Its Former Self

 

      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-19. 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.
