Ha ha, I see people are giving grief about the title.Yeah, this is Sam Bruno in San Mateo County. I was class of '82' El Camino High, this mall was one of our stomping grounds and yes, South city, San Bruno and San Mateo were all very territorial, so the SF title is out of place at least for us old-timers. Well, I hadn't been there in years and I guess not many people have still what a shame there goes with another memory but I'm sure the folks that lost Tanforan Park race track said the thing before me.
I saw your video a couple of days ago and so yesterday I went. Yes it has slowed down, but it's not closing for at least another year. As it is, the campus will not take up all the mall area. Lots will remain. I visited and made purchases at Gyros (appetizer combo, w. great pita and some baclava ❤. Then I stopped at Stone Cold Creamery where they made me a fabulous strawberry supreme thing with nuts, caramel, chunky crunchies, real whole strawberries ❤❤. Next stopped at DimSum on upper level and got 5 different yummy dumplings / buns ❤❤❤. Finally dropped in at Hallmark to start Xmas shopping ❤❤❤❤. Didn't have time for a movie, but next time I will get another icecream goody to munch. BTW Santa will be there for photos 2024
Hi @wendysinclair-smith984! I'm glad you had a chance to visit Tanforan Mall. I agree, though it has slowed down, there is definitely still some life left in this shopping mall and its many offerings such as Coldstone, the movie theater, Barnes & Noble, and more. Also, thanks for sharing and confirming that Santa will be visiting here for the holidays - hopefully this will help to drive more foot traffic.
I agree, I grew up hanging out at malls and doing my back to school shopping at places like this. Weird to envision a childhood/teen years without a local mall.
Hi Friend! The shops are located in San Bruno, which is a suburb of San Francisco. This area falls south of main metropolitan SF and sits right alongside the San Francisco Airport. As you mentioned, this area is broken into a different county, with that being said, San Mateo county spans most of the San Francisco Peninsula.
@@StephByStepTravel Yeah, SFO is located in a different county as is this mall. Has nothing whatsoever to do with SF, the city. Very misleading title trying to capitalize on anti-SF right wing propaganda. Dick move.
@@TohaBgood2 I didn't realize that adding SF for SEO, especially as this area is located within the SF region is "anti-SF right wing propaganda". I actually LOVE the city of San Francisco and visit on a regular basis, just last weekend FYI. You are entitled your opinion but it's unnecessary for you to make such abrasive remarks on the basis of nothing. If you've seen any of my other content, there is no political agenda. My goal is to share the environment and places in the SF Bay Area.
Hi @XXtheJUMPoffXX this mall will be transformed into an office space for a biotech company. You can read more about it in this article by the SFGate: www.sfgate.com/local/article/The-Shops-at-Tanforan-is-closing-for-good-16915374.php
I just Google searched Bayfair mall in San Leandro and it says its permanently closed. Darn. Sad to see another mall go and I wish I had a chance to visit before it officially closed.
When was your last time shop at the mall ? Last 4 or 5 years maybe. What is a chance of getting your car's glasses broken ? 5/10 😂. Sorry I shop online and forget about those mall

I am so sad to see another mall go like this. 😢😢😢 it is heartbreaking!
It's still got plenty of business open.

The mall in Tracy is one of the loneliest malls I’ve ever been to.
Not only is this not in the city of SF. It's actually in a different county!

Exactly.San Francisco and San Bruno are two totally different cities and counties.
@@TohaBgood2bingo … finally ppl are starting to realize.
Those escalators by the food court are still broken… ☹️
Last I check San Bruno is San Mateo county. Growing up even in the early 90’s this mall was always dead.
This mall was remodelled less than twenty years ago.
Thanks for sharing this insight @marychan4625
The Amazon and Biotech Industry will be taking over this shopping mall?
@divinediva6320 I'm not sure which corporation it is. Their website just states that it will be a biotech company.
What are they planning to do with this mall?

Looks like bayfair mall in its final days
