Showroom, Glittering Consumerism

Powell Street, SFO. on 25th night '09.

The bay area economy is down. The retail season could not do well...Showrooms, outlets, stores was not hiring on Christmas, which is supposed to be the retail bonanza; employees are usually busy dealing customers but this year it's not all that fuss...People are not buying. Shops are leaving no scope to make themselves visible!
