So when I was forced into homelessness, I learned about the evil world of trafficking because I, too became trafficked against my will. There are always at least 2-4 people following you wherever you go, and some of these people linger in places someone who was just made homeless would go (the mall, the library, because its a place we can go to try to feel normal). At 2:11 in this video, there is video of one of these traffickers. They all fit the same profile, suffice it to say. They wish us to know that there are bad people present to steal from us our peace, because when people are not in peace they do stupid things. They do this to golden children, people who can make an actual difference in the world. They do this to people who have rejected them. They do this to people they wish to bed. It is false imprisonment because they are literally EVERYWHERE you go. I tried telling the assistant district attorney of Alameda County two years ago, as they spearhead the trafficking division, and he laughed at me. He made everything I said into a joke, and acted as if trafficking people was a normal thing and like I should just suck it up. Anyhow, simply pointing out that the person sitting there is one of those who participates in false imprisonment of others by being everywhere trafficked people would go to rob us of our sense of freedom. Thanks for reading. If you want to argue trafficking is not a thing or be a butt and make fun of me, whatever....I'm used to it. Just know that you are showing to the whole KZbin community that you are ignorant about what other people go through.

This is the location (when it was a racetrack) that Americans of Japanese descent were forced to live in horse stalls until they were shipped off the prison camps throughout the West. Each family was allowed one footlocker to fit everything they will take with them. Everything else was left behind. Many Germans and Italians face similar fates on the Eastern side of the country. I know in Hawaii and I assume in the mainland Japanese was outlawed to be spoken. Many elders had little or none English skills so raising their kids had to be done with no language unless they knew English.

Yeah sad and depressing. I used to play in the field there before it was even built. Then seen it built and grew up with it through grade school and high school. Used to go and pick up chicks there and xmas was always jammed packed.

Ha ha, I see people are giving grief about the title.Yeah, this is San 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.

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.
@TohaBgood22 ай бұрын
@@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.
@StephByStepTravel2 ай бұрын
@@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.
