SD used to be a great city until too many people started to move here starting in the early 90s. Miserable traffic and outrageous housing costs are the sad result.

@@enjoyeverysandwich1117 I hear you, and you’re at least partially correct, but considering everything SD is still a much better place than most bigger cities in California.

Hi Chris. Thanks for the walking tour. It's a very nice and clean mall and very spacious. It feels like a shopping mall/ food hall because it has so many place to enjoy some great eats. I love how the greenery breaks up all the concrete a makes it a very relaxing shopping experience. The skating rink is awesome and the fire place and little ponds help create a wonderful atmosphere. Definitely a place to stop by. Thanks for sharing and take care.

This is about the only mall we have here that is not struggling (well, Fashion Valley is doing well, also, but UTC has a far more varied selection)…And it has changed just SO VERY MUCH from what it was! Westfield actually massively remodeled this TWICE (2012 and 2018)…Now that they’ve extended the Trolley, it just get So much more business, too

I love Westfield, although I'm more familiar with the ones in Sydney. Good to know I don't have to travel that far to see one. No offence to California or Florida, but one thing that always makes me chuckle being from Denver, is going to places like socal and seeing how bundled up everyone is as soon as the weather drops below 70°. Southern Florida is even more comical, they bundle up if it's less than 75.

I am actually quite surprised about how much variety this mall has compared to Fashion Valley, I mean, for the biggest Outdoor mall in California you would expect Fashion Valley to have a higher variety.

I used to live in UTC. It was a great place to live but then they ran the train line through it, they remodelled the mall, and just too many people live there or hang out there. It used to be quiet and I loved that mall. No longer. Now it's congested and is just another Fashion Valley Mall now. Shame.
