- Target, said that to improve business performance. They have made the decision to close nine Target stores across four states, effective Oct. 21.
They cannot continue operating these stores because theft and organized retail crime are threatening the safety of their team and guests, and contributing to “unsustainable business performance”. Their stores serve an important role in their communities, but can only be successful if the working and shopping environment is safe for all.
What do you think are they closing for safety ,store underperformance or both?

Politicians will form a committee to see what went wrong! Will blame online shopping for the closure. Will never blame shoplifting as the problem.
I'd bet -- HEAVILY! -- that the politicians blame the greedy merchants for not serving the needs of the public by closing the store.
Politicians will increase the supply of free subsidized mass transit passes to the shoplifters who would visit Targets farther away. Eventually, the Targets farther away willl get those shoplifters willing to commute to them for lack of other closer stores.
The geniuses running SF should form a task force! Yeah, that’s the ticket, a task force!!!
Adding a membership to any store would prety much defeat theft and add a better theft proof entrance to avoid large groups. But considering, big box stores rarely fare well in big cities, walmart, target etc, Big box stores are usually meant for "rural" conservative parts; but since the new take over of "dollar" stores are the new stores that take advantage of poor rural areas where people don't shop..
I remember there were a couple of organized crime thefts done through the church/pastors where they got caught.
@@koilamaoh4238 Shoplifters already sneak into Costco with fake membership cards printed at the public library or at school or at home. The gate keepers at Costco only see the brief flash of the words "Costco" and the people walk right in. There is no checking if there is actually a plastic membership card at any costco in the various cities I've been to in both Canada and USA. So any piece of paper that looks like the costco card is sufficient for a shoplifter to get in. Or they can say they are using the pharmacy or Optometrist and most USA states require Costo to let them in as they are licensed by the state and have subsidized infrastructure by the state taxpayers.
We are literally living in a time when people actually believe stores will be fine if it’s legal to loot.
Idiocracy.
They are getting the Wake Up Call that they deserve if that's the mindset they walk around with.
A friend of mine told me he was ok with someone stealing from the place he works at.
@@Greencloud8 Could you tell your friend that The Dollar Guy thinks he is an idiot? What if the store was his car or little sister instead? Thank you.
Of course your friend works for free.@@Greencloud8
And they always say "but the store has insurance" yes and the store pays the insurance company and passes that cost on to us. We all pay for shoplifting.
All the target stores that are closing are in high crime areas. It IS the crime.
Caused by junkies to get their next fix!
@@galegrazutis964 Enabled by local politicos and brain-washed voters who enable the politicians.
black neighborhoods
These chains closed stores in NYC too, in some places where there was barely any crime uptick over the recent years. Some of it may be legit due to crime, but they are also definitely using it as an excuse to downscale while saving face. Truth on both sides.
@@johnmycroft3065no really. There are very few black neighborhoods in California except in south. Too expensive.
They were in full support of the societal chaos that caused their stores to close.
Yes they are. Dems destroying other dems.
Well, wait a minute? Why is there such a difference between Target and Cosco?
It’s not only the loss from theft, it’s also the danger to customers and employees from the robbers. Not worth the liability.
Well, wait a minute? Why is there such a difference between Target and Cosco?
@@stephanieellison7834 One of the main differences is that Costco is a membership store. You need to show your (or a card) to enter and you need to show your receipt in order to leave (a condition of membership). The parking lots however can be just as dangerous as any other retail lot.
Also rent for these stores have double. At one point it just doesn't make sense to have the store open.
@@FabianVilchesgomez and then Amazon comes in to take over the inventory over time, and become like a company store during the US's western-expansion days. BAD NEWS. You HAVE to stop this and relocalize retail and supplies to reduce vulnerability to supply-chain issues. You have incredible vulnerabilities coming about now, including the CA ban on non-EV trucks that resupply large portions of the country, the Mississippi River drought, as well as the Panama Canal drought, the latter two which are restricting how much goods ships and barges can carry per load. It's a bad situation all the way around.
Perfect example of liberal policy in action 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Yes, but it's also corruption, greed and mismanagement. This city has been slowly on the decline for decades by also allowing the rich and the oligarchs to gentrify it for extra prophets. Too many factors were involved all at once. California in general has been suffering with some of the worst policies for its size and supposed wealth.
@@Trap-Joeyou realize the term gentrify means to clean things up, fix properties, and invest to improve? People say it like it's a bad thing
“Corruption, greed, mismanagement “ sums up the democrat leftist commie party hahaaahah @@Trap-Joe
it's better to close the outlet rather than inviting many criminals for mass looting
Very sad to see another store closing,which is needed in that community. The people received for what they voted.
Sadly,it doesn't appear that they'll ever get it.
Exactly. Same thing happens in every third world nation
@@Nacalina007yes, as one banned dude on rumble says. We need our great cities. He wants to walk around them late at night, explore, etc. of course we can’t say why he can’t now
Voting is FRAUDULENT. Don’t blame the voters.
So did target
DEMOCRATIC STRONGHOLD........ YOU GET WHAT YOU VOTE FOR !
I left SF in 2019 after 47 years because I saw this coming. Interesting to see what’s happened since.
You escaped just in time
Don't leave ! Vote the democrats out of office !
@@mikedavis2969too late, it's a "democracy" so 51% can ruin your life
@@mikedavis2969 Let them fail and then rebuild without their bullshit.
You were SMART! Congratulations!
I show these videos to my classes ….bad economic policy gets you this
Excellent job! I was thinking that students should take this issue into consideration very seriously!
Voting Democrat is bad policy.
So many closures in the Bay Area. It’s a bit wild. I live a little east and we have a lot of closures here too. Tons of theft that goes unchecked every day.
Target went woke and that did not help!
I live south of Bay Area and it’s slowly starting to spread here like diarrhea
Thank you Metal Leo for keeping us updated. So sad. It’s 100% off for most of SF businesses as there are no consequences for shoplifting.
Targets in Connecticut are busy and fun to shop. A law and order State is a nice place to live.
But in California you can do an Ebony alert - which is only for missing black children.
The merchandise is in jail but not the criminals. Oh the irony.
Excellent observation.
At Costco, I can't see zombies doing a smash and grab of 496 roll pack of toilet paper or 96 pack of water bottles. Bigger packs equals too much work.
36 pack of beer is way too heavy lol ,It’s hard to get in without the membership card too
a lady took her own elementary school daughter aged child to take a cart of detergent this week at family dollar.. when she saw them recording the mom AND THE LITTLE GIRL both told the employee to 'mind they bidness and they had to pay they bills' and the mother then pulled a weapon 😮
@@dertythegrower"bidness" hmmm i wonder what color is that thing
They got what they voted for...
I moved to CA in ‘95. 28 years and still here. The state is wounded, limping along. Things are not well here. We’re all in survival mode here…including the criminals. First Jerry Brown and now Gavin Newsom. It’s been a lot for all of us.
If Chicago is any indication, you're in for an even rougher ride with whoever the next governor will be.
Don't worry, Gavin is fixing to fail upwards and become president so you'll be rid of him soon. Sort of.
@@ronhaworth5808
No, the whole country will be far worse off as Newsom spreads all his CA policies to the rest of the states. Then you can't flee from it anywhere you move to.
Pelosi doesn’t seem concerned?
This is craziness.
That large vacant building will remain vacant so scratch the huge taxes they paid and let’s not forget all of the employees that are now out of work.
Because she's in Gitmo
@@Hardball247 You mean in wine county, Napa Valley. Close to her favorite beverage. And donors with lots of money.
Pelosi doesn't shop at Target, I am sure, so she probably doesn't even know about this tragedy.
Like she shops at target 😂
Will be Graffiti Tagged in four weeks from all the street hoodlums! 😆
Get woke go broke
I remember when that Costco in the City opened. The membership aspect and the sheer size made it a novelty, and kids my age were excited to go. The expanse of everything, the copious samples, wide range of product and food court made it a grand adventure, and families of all kinds could appreciate the prices as well as the fact that you were less likely to get complaining during the weekly trip to the grocery. Cosco executives had a long-term plan for success when they crafted their warehouse model. Anti-theft mechanisms were integrated long before it became an epidemic.
You said it right and thank you for sharing
If you think those gangs of "youths" won't come after Costco next, you are mistaken.
Given that it’s somewhat permissible to loot, the looters initially target the easiest opportunities (low hanging fruits). Costco, being a membership-based business, requires customers to present a Costco *ID/badge* for entry, and they have access to all your information, including a photo. However, the looters will eventually come to Costco, in numbers without ID/badge.
Costco only allows members in that keeps out the thiefs. You can't just Hangout in Costco without a membership. You can stand in target all day , harassment the customers and employees ,eat beef jerky ,try on shoes and steal at you leisure.
@@sergeant64 The Costco gatekeepers barely look at the Costco badge. A piece of paper printed to look like a membership card can be glued to the back of any credit-card sized piece of plastic such as all those stupid plastic Xfinity fake credit cards if a card needs to be waved around. However, I never take mine out of my wallet, so all they ever see is just the colored letters COSTCO. I just barely flip my wallet open and they see the COSTCO and I just saunter right in without slowing down. Any shoplifter can do that too. Or they will say they are using any of the state-licensed services to get in because most states, like mine, do not allow stores to prevent public use of any taxpayer-funded licensing such as pharmacy or optometry. Also, in 2015 alcohol was added, so that's why beer prices aren't always good at Costco. My state law does allow membership-only stores to offer discounts to members for pharmacy and alcohol purchases. However, they cannot require a membership to make a purchase. Because of the law being known, shoplifters can easily cite the law and enter the store to peruse the alcohol or anywhere else in the store with small pocketable objects.
20% off, 40% off, 70% off, 90% off . . . hell, the reason their closing is people were getting 100% off. 😯
San Fran continues to value crime and filth over business so.......expect more of this.
Thank you for providing some perspective as to possible reasons for the store closing. As a Target shopper it was kind of surreal to see all the empty shelves. In my work experience with Target in the past they strive to run a "well-oiled machine" so this pre-emptive move of closing these stores may be their way of moving resources around so that they can support more profitable location? - I don't know. It's still a chilling image, regardless of the reasons for the closings. Thanks, Leo. ❤
So true!
Everything is 100 % off in San Fran! Provided you fit a certain profile of Social Justice Warriors ruling the once-great city...
Or they could just close due to crime making it unprotectable
Sad to see businesses closing.
The two targets that I shopped at have both become sparser in merchandise and replaced those items with clothing. Even the food sections have shrunk to about half of what they used to be which basically means target is no longer a place to do the main part of shopping but to pick up convenience items. As I've seen, most of the remaining food items here are either drinks, snacks, or frozen food items. The other types of staples are totally missing as there is zero produce, almost no bakery type items, and butcher type meats are gone. If all the dry goods (beauty, food, housewares, home appliances, electronics, and sporting goods), cafe, shopping cart, and customer service spaces are added up, they are somewhat less than half of the floor space with everything else being clothing. It feels more like a clothing store than what it used to be. For example, there are basically no car care products and many types of "small pocket-sized goods" no longer exist unless you go to target.com
How can Woke SF drive Woke Target out? Can it be there is such a thing as Too Woke?
Thank you for showing us what you are seeing. Much appreciated. ❤
You are so welcome,more vids soon!
The Target stores here in Chicago are always packed and kept very clean, so at least we're not at the same dystopian level as San Francisco... yet.
Illinois has almost the largest debt in the country. Go check out the debt clock for Illinois. 😂
Exactly how many of your governors went to prison there?😂
@@oldskolacura9798 Someone once complained about the slander that all Illinois ex-governors are in prison. "It's a filthy LIE", he snorted. "Two of them are DEAD!"
Poetic Justice that what Target supported is bringing them down. This seems to be the liberal motto.
Thanks Leo. I’m going to say this for the people who are asleep. All of this is by design. They create the problem (unfettered homelessness and theft ) to create the solution (big brother biometrics to enter retail)
Boom
Yup.
The Hegelian Dialectic.
Biometrics to enter retail as a gateway to universal surveillance.
I hear in Chicago, they want to open government-run stores. They don't need to make a profit. If they lose money, well the Taxpayer foots the loss. Why wouldn't S.F. do the same thing? We, the government is here to help you with Government run stores!!! You're Welcome!!! We are doing something for you!!! You can go Google this stuff. Easy to find. It's more of a move to socialism and then to Communism. Then people can stand in very long lines all day to maybe get a few products. That is the future.
Leo, your videos are exceptional. Documenting the planned fall of a beautiful city and by extension a beautiful country is sad, necessary and noble. Thank you my friend. Stay safe and keep up your important and much appreciated work.
Thank you very much! For your support! Yes, I have more videos on the works
It'd really break my heart to see row after row of empty seats in the

@@LeoMetalTravelerDaly City?
Costco requires a membership card to enter the store, that should keep crime down a bit. Plus they have the secret weapon....a lady with a highlighter to draw a smiley face on your receipt. Nobody would think of leaving Costco without a smiley face.
True
I remember a CZcams video a while back, of these thieving couple who were able to steal some items darting out of the fire escape. The second time they tried at a different Costco, the police were waiting. I have also heard of stories of Costco Business Center banning people for shoplifting. I was told of a woman who would stick a whole slab of meat in her dress to use at her restaurant. She got away with it for a few weeks until they finally reviewed the tapes and caught her in 4K.
And then I have heard of criminals infiltrating Amazon warehouses in order to steal items. Forming cliches in order to steal more. Even after they get caught and fired, they brazenly try to recruit people in the warehouse to steal for them.
However, the Costco parking lot may be dicey. I personally had to deal with a thief who tried to steal from my cart as I was loading. But they saw me giving them the stink eye and they gave up and left me alone. And I had noticed thieves also prowling the parking lot, looking for items in people's cars to smash and grab.
I'm sure if someone walks past without a membership card they already have police coming and everyone knows what's up.
@@scubasteve-zr1cvthe police do nothing there
Target raised the price from 100% off to 90% off.
😂😂😂
Leo. Thank you. Appreciate your work and I hope opportunities come from your work. Our country needs to see this. They lie, mislead to keep the unaware under control. People like you taking time to expose this gives me a reason to live.
Thank you too!
the greatest country in history of the world -LAMO!
@@LeoMetalTravelerHi, you said Costco has a different business model than Target. Can you explain? Also, does Costco have any shoplifters? 🤔🤔🤔Here in Delaware Walgreens, RiteAid, PepBoys and even a Boston Market closed or will close soon. Is Amazon the new way of life?
Costco requires membership to shop/enter the store and checks receipts when you leave
Some of the most amazing work on youtube. I tell people about how cities are just closed down and they don't believe.
All that merchandise being behind a locked door made me cringe. No wonder they're closing. San Francisco and other blue cities are uninvestable and unprofitable!
"it's not theft". dude, they didn't pay for all of those cases for nothing. it's PRECISELY theft.
It is so depressing to see this,
. How is it possible to be so passive and not do anything?
This is crime and recession both.
Wow. Sad days we're living in. Thanks Leo for showing us what's happening. Take care!
Thank you too
The guy is back! Awesome vid Leo! Thanks for posting.🎉
This is what happens when crime is rampant and targeted at target. You can thank your local goverment for not enforcing the laws and circumcising existing laws to.
Leo, thanks again for your realistic reporting of what's going on in San Francisco. Who would have imagined that retail crime would one day force these brick and mortar stores to close and in effect encourage, if not force consumers to shop online.
Thank you for sharing. very true about online business
It was part of the plan ALL ALONG!!!
@@matthewdonohue9667
These cities a losing out on a whole lot of tax money. Tax money these businesses pay out to the city and the local taxes paid to the cities. Seems like a dumb plan for Online shopping. When these gangs can't loot these stores because they're all gone. Do you think they'll go away or start looting homes?
The best channel on the internet!
@ChrisWhalenCPA thank you for your support more videos soon!
This channel is the eye opener everyone needs to see.
I've been a Costco member for twenty five years, the reason Costco is so successful is they tightly control who they let in the Store. You have to be a member to enter, and they make you show the door person your membership card to enter. Then when you leave you have to show a different door person your receipt and they check the items in your cart to the receipt. They don't just let anyone in. And if they have any problems with a member (stealing), they'll cancel their membership. All that combined is why they don't have any problems, basically zero thefts, and will continue to thrive.
Wait till the robbery crews get so desperate that they will be smashing and grabbing those rotisserie chickens
I don't believe that there is a single item locked in a display case at Costco, except for the prescription drugs at the pharmacy.
The monthly fee also provides a filter on a social media site called locals. It’s attached to Rumble. The fee is typically $5. I don’t know of any community that had to kick anyone off.
So nice to see people getting exactly what they voted for.
Looks like apocalypse… scary times.
The customers there that day are true "scavengers".
Did people actually buy the stuff at 90% off, or just steal it? In all seriousness, this is really sad to see.
They probably continued to steal it and walked out the store with it. It's bad enough that at Halloween, some of those nasty parents have made OTHER things near my front door disappear such as garden tools, sprayers, and even a garden hose disappeared. So even if there is zero cost, that mindset of "taking it for free" exists wherever they go at all times of the day. I doubt that the items being on sale stops them from continuing to shoplift. It's an attitude.
The retail store I work at has a super high crime rate & will be closing in the near future if things don't turn around with the permissiveness of tolerating criminals/shoplifters. The majority of shoplifters come in regularly & some multiple times a day. What's changed is the ENTITLEMENT attitude they have as they exit the store without even trying to hide the merchandise. My store has become the hub for criminals & is more dangerous than before when we were allowed to call the cops & arrest, then prosecute the shoplifters. The ENTITLEMENT attitude is the most disturbing. Also by far, the majority are NOT just trying to get a loaf of bread to feed their families. It's to make money for drugs, iPhones, cigarettes , alcohol etc. They make 100% profit.
Deeply shocked and sad to see a once one-of-the-most-beautiful-&-bustling-cities-in-the-world San Francisco where I lived in my 20s falling apart gruesomely!!!
That's crazy. The decline is hard to see. I appreciate your videos because I lived in the bay area during the 90s. It's hard to watch what's happening over there now. I'm in Florida now.
Thanks for sharing ,you escaped in time it was great here back in the 90s
Hope you changed your voting habits
America is fu ked
It's disgusting that this is happening!!!! They need to make serious laws against criminal shoplifters!!!!!
Well gosh ... in California it's a crime if you steal $950 worth of merchandise or more. That's one tough penalty I'd say.
Democrats love criminals
They just need to enforce the laws already in the books. They refuse to do it. It's so-called Racist these days. If you can't do the time, don't do the crime!!!
Thank you for filming. You are helping reveal the truth of SF Bay Area.
You bet
This has to be an astronomical financial loss to the chain. Now these expensive refrigerators and coolers etc, have to be disconnected and moved or sold probably at a loss.
amazing what bad apples do, it lead to that.
I’m shocked that the one at Fourth and Mission Streets. Isn’t closing too. My Wife sometimes shops there and sees the bums stealing. I told her please don’t go downtown because every weekend we go to Serramonte Center or Colma. Nice Target Stores there and No Bums. Oh Well.
I worked the plumbing on a grocery store. The amount of people and material it takes to label everything is impressive
Leo recording history. Make sure you preserve these masterpieces Leo. Great work. So sad seeing these majestic places all falling down to abandonment. We will get rid of these psychotic demons who are in political positions and replace with people who love and care for humanity who will rebuild for the people by the people

It's interesting because here in Florida, you don't have this many locked cabinets in Target. Maybe just one or two for some small electronics? This one has aisles and aisles of them.
thanks for your reporting on all these stores in SF closing!
Any time!
It's exactly what you wanted, and you got it
Both the city of SF & the city of Detroit show how bad governance & lousy politics can have the same effect, regardless of a city's weather, terrain, scenery, demographics, economics. But for just SF itself, if crime & homelessness didn't get the ball rolling, than zealotry in Covid-era lockdowns & mandates (by government, businesses & residents) sure did. Or visa versa.
London Breed is overseeing the largest store liquidation sales in San Francisco's history! That will be her legacy.
The problem is bigger than one person fixing it
Good observation.
It’s the entire California democrat crime syndicate. These politicians couldn’t care less. They know if they play along they’ll get promoted international politics to be criminals at a much higher scale. Financed through CCP tech capital.

I’m going to do some research first then I’ll look into it. Thank you for the tip.
It's amazing at this stage they even bother having prices on anything. Tickets should just say "Help yourself"..that's been the standard that got it to where it is....
Thank you for covering what the mainstream media wont.
These corporations may consider their future is not even in America with the breakdown of Law and Order.
I'd bet all the smart ones are already multi-national. And the not-so-smart ones were bought by someone with brains and are now much better run.
I noticed all those locked displays didn’t stop the thieves. What does that tell you?
😮
There have been some videos showing the shoplifters breaking glass display cases to get to the merchandise.
You have to show a Costco card to buy there so you will not just be able to run in the loot. Not for nothing Costco has a problem as well the prices and now running in competition with the supermarket it is losing its value. I watched a video ion the from the channel Epic Economist. In addition, I work at target in Long Island you have theft of items that are missing like the lose hangers found all over the building. The items of cloths were most likely stolen.
I work at night and do my best to just put them and all shortage items in the receiving for credit. Good luck!
Is this the Folsom location?
Yea folsom and 12th I believe
@@CHM55I knew it, thanks.
Thank you Leo. Great reporting. I’ve been in that Costco. Without workers in the City and the crime these stores will close. Unreal to see San Francisco so bad, Oakland and even Berkeley. It will be interesting if we are seeing the bottom.
costco is thriving because they have a door man checking receipts of customers on their way out, for whatever reason target does not do that, Safety concerns, i think.
Good job democrats
They are actually referred to as Communists today
Yup.
The crime rate at this Target is dropping dramatically. Thank you Mayor London Breed!
I m totally stunt to see such horrible happenings in San Francisco....Gosh....
Well when you don’t enforce the law and apply progressive policies that imply if you’re a a certain race you don’t prosecute this is what happens.
Wondering if the people in that store even care that they are responsible for the slow death of their community ?
Excellent presentation of Target closing, it is real, thanks for your efforts.
Thanks and welcome
Great video. Sad. However, Costco always has 2 people at the exit to check their receipt and cart upon exiting. Smart.
Very true!

Hard to believe politicians allowed it to get that bad. Insane!
The targets here in iowa are always filled with products 😂
Leo: My wife looked in to see what I was watching and since it was about Target closing (wife was released from KMART just shy of having qualified for retirement benefits) she felt sorry for the employees and how it will affect them and their families. When will the neighborhood say enough is enough and stop these thugs. A sad day and sadder for the people who worked there; Leo, stay safe out there.

@malcolmnicoll1165 gracias por su apoyo! More videos next week!
I used to go to this location, it was hell, lots of crazy junkies around.. they had to board the stores for 2 years because they had their windows broken many times. The front entrance was boarded too, it looked like it was closed all the time..I am just surprised it survived so long ! check the mall on 9th street, everything closed too ( nordstrom, bed bath, ulta, the bank, etc.. I think just trader joe is left .. just wondering how long
The romantic tale of the last stand.
Will Trader Joe survive the monster hordes?
Stay tuned to Metal Leo to find out!
Imagine paying 90% off when you could previously get it for 100% off.
Could be used as a set for a good zombie movie!!!😂
🧟♂️🎥🧟🍿🧟♀️
Depressing to see this. 😢😢😢
Leo, I would like to know more about the start of police no longer prosecuting theft of under $1000. It started soon after the defund the police protests. Is there a connection?
That’s because of prop 47 in CA. It’s a misdemeanor crime instead of more serious felony. So this decriminalized stealing because if they got caught they were released later.
Terrible. Where will the die-versity go to get that 100% discount now that all the stores are closing?
Many states provide free subsidized bus passes to those on social welfare. So they will just commute to the areas with open stores. And shoplift at those. Buses in many cities now have bicycle racks, so the suspects can even take a bicycle to just the approximate area with the best bus stop having loitering areas. They can then ride their bicycles to nearby shops or residential areas to look for porch packages.
Every time I walk into a Target (which is seldom after they got into politics) I get the aroma of the old KMarts. Remember them?
"They say they're closing because of crime, because it's better than saying it is because the stores aren't profitable."
It is difficult to be profitable when your merchandise is being STOLEN because your government condones theft (also known as CRIME).
What's going to happen to this space? No retail business would think of doing business in a crime hotspot.
Why is this ok with people in California?
Great Video, it's unbelievable terrible SF is useless now finished 😔 😢 RIP 🙏
Its like a proof of concept on a social behavior in real time. A valuable lesson when the chaos inside someone's mind manifests into physical reality on the outside. Lesson: Never let crazy people run your life.
You got it. This is an outward manifestation of the inner pain of the people that live there.
I'm London Mayor McCheese Breed and I approve this message. Now San Francisco join me in singing California Dreamin
I saw a lot of store closings during the recession years ago. Actually went to a few closing sales.
Sizeable portion of closures were privately owned.
And to think target is a woke company 🤣🤣
Thanks for bringing it to us. There's zero chance of me going there anymore.
Thank you Metal Leo for sharing your S.F. story. Just so sad to see whats left of a once beautiful city..
