A great video and view of one of my favorite shopping malls in the US. On my first trip to SF in 1986, I remember getting on those circular escalators' in the original part of the building and looking up at the skylight during the ride. It truly was/is spectacular. But when they expanded, and built the BLOOMINGDALES, they saved and added the old dome from the closed EMOPORIUM Department Store (it closed in 1995). It was brilliant! Even better is that the food court, now called the EMPORIUM, uses the old lettering from the original store logo. That's a great way to preserve an ICON.
Thank you for the informative history of its past, really appreciate it. My mother used to actually work at the old Emporium Capwell back in the day. Thanks for the comment! 😀
