changeover is a sign of the times. she said struggling malls and retail stores have been a problem nationwide. she said that piles onto the current problem san francisco faces. she said it is time for change. >> these end-use will remain open but also having conversations with lenders and the business community and others including educational institutions, uc berkeley, stanford, who have an interest in expanding. >> shoppers are mixed about the closures. >> it breaks my heart. it just breaks my heart. >> i got some shorts. a dress. and a shirt and a belt. >> maggie needed to hit the mall after having a baby two months ago. >> it is nice to try on clothes. everyone does a lot of online shopping these days but when you do not know your sizing. >> i do not know where to shop anymore if another mall bites the dost -- dust.
