example of how malls are changing with the timessot ben lazzareschiwhat we're seeing is malls adding new amenities to increase their attractiveness and draw to their customerslazzareschi says that begins with unique and great restaurants. valley fair has already started in that area with din tai fung, the steamed dumpling and noodle restaurant. and its redevelopment project will expand to include an outdoor dining district. lazzareschi says entertainment, in the form of live music or movie theaters like this one going in at valley fair must also be part of the package to bring in customers both day and night. westfield's san francisco centre already has many of these amenities; state of the art movie theaters, a spa, and another key component, this community space under the dome which brings people together for public events. sot leah heil/senior g.m., westfield sf centrewe are a curated city within a city, everything you want and need as at your fingertipsleah heil is senior general manager at westfield's san francisco centre. here they've gone beyond traditional retail, dining and entertainment to have office

a customer's bag was bigger than the new policy allows it was searched.. and then the person was let in with that bag. perhaps they are being lenient because it's the first day of this new ban but for now i would not worry about being separated from your bag you might just be searched.. i spoke with movie goers about the new rule most people did not mind sound from movie goers i don't mind, it's good, it's safer for all, i am ok with it. jenny thinks this new policy will mostly affect people who ride bikes or public transit to the movies sound from movie goersit's bad for commuters, people on bus and train who take their big bag everywhere, i feed bad for them. in daly city, gabe slate kron 4 news. adlib seven day. adlib seven kron 4 news. adlib seven day. thats kron 4 news weekend
