So, we bought a handful of gift cards at Safeway and mailed them out. That's it, done.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-239044155809741001.post-42697117451881220702009-12-21T14:23:44.903-08:002009-12-21T14:23:44.903-08:00Just returned from downtown.

Besides tha fact that there are plenty of on-street spots, especially to the north, the meters are only 50 cents per hour there. As Anon 9:36 pointed out, it was easy to visit several destinations once I had my parking spot.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-239044155809741001.post-78239159252913406552009-12-21T09:36:10.031-08:002009-12-21T09:36:10.031-08:00Went down on Sunday, found a spot without problems...Went down on Sunday, found a spot without problems. I'm not saying where but it was in the middle of everything. Didn't pay a dime.<br /><br />It's a busy time of year, even the malls and stores with parking lots have challenges.

The drivers were always very nice and friendly. I used the trolley "for real" for the first time a few weeks ago when I needed to get from BART to the Lescher Center. Normally it's an easy walk but it was cold and rainy so the trolley was greatAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-239044155809741001.post-26507721715410294282009-12-20T11:54:09.944-08:002009-12-20T11:54:09.944-08:00Mostly I shop online but yesterday I did find a pa...Mostly I shop online but yesterday I did find a parking space in the garage behind Il Fornaio.

I won't be back until after the Holdiays are done. Last year I actually left without ever finding parking. I REFUSE to use valet, what a waste of valuable parking spaces. So I on line shop and go to Sun Valley Mall early and have no problems.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
