What happens when a mall dies? In my latest newsletter, I visit two of San Francisco's moribund shopping spaces -- the former Twitter building, and the former Westfield mall. What I find is very liminal. https://buttondown.com/thehypothesis/archive/inside-the-dying-malls-of-san-francisco/ #sanfrancisco #urbanism
@annaleen the Center really should make more of a fuss about the curved escalators, because they seem ordinary but are actually unique in the US / western hemisphere / something like that.

@paulmison I didn't realize that! They are pretty epic.
@annaleen looks like first, but no longer only. https://elevation.fandom.com/wiki/Spiral_escalator
@paulmison I'm so glad they're allowed to talk about escalators on the elevator wiki
