My blog this week was painful to write. We took on one of the Pubcos when the Pub Code (designed to protect tenants from restrictive practices put on them by large Pubcos) was new and we were a test case. It was a stressful time and part of me wishes we had gone further, but it was a costly affair! #reflectionsofareluctantlandlady #tiedpubs #pubcode #pubcos #problemsoftiedpubs #hospitalitymanagement

It's been on a downward trajectory for awhile but when even the acclaimed In 'n Out burger chain decides it's too dangerous to keep open their store there - well it really is an all-time low for Oakland, California. It seems the business is putting staff safety in front of profits....their car park has become a crime hotspot. Given this is the chain's first ever closure since it started in 1948 that's saying something. The closure marks a further decline for Oakland - a city that has, already this year, seen downtown Subway outlet and a Raising Cane restaurant shutter their doors - largely due to crime. They follow on from Starbucks, Denny's and Black Bear Diner and a host of retailers and are the 'tells' of an area - if not a city in a civic death spiral. Across 'the Bay' - the internationally famous San Francisco is having its own problems - with city's once prestigious San Francisco Centre (until recently owned by Westfield before they handed he keys back in June 2023), being renamed Emporium Centre San Francisco. But a slew of key brand tenants have gone - Lego, JHollister, Adidas and J Crew among them. They have now reportedly been joined by?L’Occitane and Sephora. I term it 'brand flight'! But in the case of these two cities I call it 'brand mass evacuation'! Whatever is going on it's urban decay and it's a civic tragedy and I do wonder if there is a calling for some sort of International Civic Rescue Squad - much in the same way that Saudi Arabia has pulled in what I terms as a 'dream team' of designer, developers, digital eagles and those who can deliver a project. This would be a 'Civic Rescue' A-team who could turnaround the fortunes of troubled locations around the world. Who would be on such a team? I have a few ideas! https://lnkd.in/dahZANTf #InnoutBurger #Oakland #crime #urbandecay #urbangrain #California #civicdecay #brandflight #turnaround #SanFrancisco #Westfield #EmporiumCentreSanFrancisco #Civicrescue #retail #retailing #leisure

"In a post-Covid world, every coffeehouse, burger joint and taco restaurant is looking for the same thing: drive-throughs." Perhaps the question isn't so much so how much coffee a neighborhood needs. Rather, it's about what we are trying to build with our communities. We don't need another café with drive-throughs; but we need more places that can foster conversations and a sense of belonging. Somewhere that you can drop in and share the moments with friends and strangers alike. It's about human connections. It's about the people. Always.

Modesto, have you been to the Squeeze In Breakfast and Lunch lately? Located in the Raley's plaza at Floyd and Roselle. Just got back from brunch there... ordered the Eggs Benny. Best brunch menu you will ever see. Did you know they have Chocolate Bacon? Yes, it's a thing. And just for fun you can write on the walls. You gotta see all of this to believe it.

Next up in my Neighborhood Spotlight Series...the Central District. This post has a special place in my heart as it’s where I grew up and where my parents still live today. Naturally, it was a challenge to narrow down my top recommendations, but I did my best! In this series, we cover the important real estate stats of course, but, also my favorite things to see, do and eat in each neighborhood, so worth a read and share even if you aren't in the market for a home today! Which Seattle neighborhood should I feature next? Let me know below! https://lnkd.in/emdGNTi2
