Target, Oh Target, Where Art Thou?

OK. Its time for me to confess. As much as I love San Francisco, I hate the fact that there is no Target in the city. I miss having a one-stop-shop for all of my beauty-bath-stationery-clothing-furniture-home decor-cleaning products needs. Anyone else sick of having to go to six different places in the hustle and bustle of San Francisco, when you can just do it all at Target?

There has been discussion about Target coming to the Metreon or the new CityPlace for the last year and a half now. But nothing is happening!

The last article I found on the net that even talks about Target coming to the Metreon was in the October 23, 2009 issue of San Francisco Business Times:

“Metreon owners Westfield and Forest City have recently pulled back on several preliminary lease deals at the center and are said to be negotiating to lease an entire floor to Target.”

“While the neighborhood is replete with deluxe retailers from Bloomingdale’s to Barney’s to Saks, CityPlace is looking to attract mass-market retailers like Target or TJ Maxx.”
So, Mr. Metreon and Ms. CityPlace, can you please give your SF’ers an update on whether Target is coming to us anytime soon? I am starting to go through Target withdrawals.

What I Love Most About My Daily Commute…

I would have to say that I have a love-hate relationship with the N-Judah. Instead of going into detail with all the things I hate about it, I want to spend my energy tonight talking about my most favorite part of riding the N-Judah.

Twice a day, on my daily commute to and from work on the N-Judah line, I pass by Duboce Park.

I know what you must be thinking. Why on earth would I get so fascinated by a silly urban park? This is why. There is something really heartwarming about watching dogs of all sizes and colors, all come together, off their leashes, wagging their tails, and playing with each other and their owners. And just a few steps away, there are those mothers and nannies playing with their young’uns in the playground nearby.

Watching the mix of these relaxed owners with their free-roaming dogs and moms playing with their toddlers, just brings a smile to my face every single time I pass by.
