Plenty of parking spaces
Just to get a guess at how bad the economy is doing, I stopped by Vally Fair Mall and hiked up to the top level of the parking garage. Two days before Christmas, in the middle of the afternoon, there was plenty of parking to be had. Inside, the mall was busy, but not packed. I’m not sure if this is bad news because it means the economy’s likely to remain in the dumps for a while, or if it’s good news because it means that Silicon Valley has rejoined the real world, where everybody doesn’t get whatever they want whenever they want it.
I’d have to agree. Parking hasn’t been horrific, which makes me wonder how hard the Valley has been hit, or whether people are still preparing for economic woes.
