I've been told it used to be a racetrack, Japanese American internment camp, to name a few. It's hard to believe this place has so much history but can look so abandoned on the outside. This was where I had my first job working at Miller's Outpost / Anchor Blue. That's when it used to be a very alive mall then, with the super cheap double show movie theater. The good old days when life was much simpler and we weren't glued to cell phones, lol. I could've sworn I read somewhere a while back this place was sold, and it was going to be like a biotech/ apartment in like 5 years or so. I could be wrong. Like most malls now, it's mostly all about food. I believe they still do off the grid here every Tuesday. For what it is, it's still a cool place to just walk around, catch a movie, and get a bite to eat.

It also has some non-asian businesses like O'Reilly Auto Parts, KFC, Subway, and Armed Forces Recruiting. I was at this plaza around 5pm on a Monday. I drive a pickup truck, and I didn't have too many issues with parking. Drivers need to slow down and beware of pedestrians. People just seem to walk around the lot with no concern for traffic. The big issue for me was leaving the shopping center. There need more stopsigns to stop cross traffic. This would give drivers a chance to exit the mall lot safely. I observed cross traffic not using turn signals, so drivers have to wait. In general, an OK shopping plaza. I will return and explore it.

Even though it looks big, the center's layout does allow for an easy walk to every shop and get everything. Getting here is not exactly convenient, even if living in nearby SF. You have to take a couple of freeways and detours to arrive. Note you will improve your car parking and driving maneuverability skills if you come here during supper time and during the weekend.

Anchor stores are Mollie Stone Market and CVS Drugstore. I was recently at Bayhill for the grand opening party for the Local Kitchens Micro Food Hall. Other major brands include: Starbucks, Jamba Juice, Baskin Robbins, Carl's Jr, Round Table Pizza, and State Farm. While driving on I-280, this shopping center might make a nice rest stop.

They had a taco bell before, which got replaced nueve and is now a local kitchen. There used to be a Radio Shack and Pasta Pomodoro. Which is now Hashes and Brews.

They have the usual Mollie Stones, Starbucks, and Carl's Jr. Usually, during the summer, this is one of it spots for the Wednesday nighters. That's when people bring their hot rods and show cars. Mingle and cruise after. I like how it's easy to just, go in and out. Like do what you need to do without the crazy hassle. They have a big parking lot and close to the freeways.

It will no longer be the outdated neighborhood strip mall where time stood still, as it's currently being redesigned and rebranded. Moved Out: The Plaza is former home to Pacific Supermarket, One Hour Cleaners, and Goldilock's Bakeshop, all of which have relocated to Westborough Square on Gellert Blvd. Moving In: Red Ribbon Bakeshop closed their San Bruno location and is relocating here to Westborough Hills Plaza. Open During Construction: Kragen Auto Parts became O'Reilly Auto Parts a few years back. Conveniently, they remain open through the Plaza's changes. Their El Camino store doesn't always have what I need so it's nice to have this Callan store as a close alternate. New Market: Gone are the smelly old days of the dilapidated Island Pacific Supermarket. Currently under construction as Phase I. is the new anchor, Seafood City (a Filipino supermarket chain in the United States with branches in California, Hawaii, Nevada, and Washington). I'm highly anticipating their 1st location here in the Peninsula. My mom and I won't have to trek across the bridge for hard-to-find specialty items much longer! New Restaurants: Welcomed additions to South City will include new (fast food) restaurants such as Grill City and Chow King. Spring 2016 is the scheduled opening of Jollibee's most contemporary State-side restaurant right here. Now we'll have 3 Jollibee's in a 7 mile radius, 1 for each Target store :) They'll all be perfect, quick solutions to hectic midweek dinners when we're too pooped to cook. The Gist: With 7,000 sq. ft. of retail space being built on the north corner of Callan & Meath, Phase II will include plenty more shops in the revamped Plaza. Time to make new memories, with my next generation in tow. Welcome Back, Kotter!

But it's really hard when you don't put up any basic signage to identify businesses. A visitor should be able to see what might be of interest.

BTW, I heard the current rate of $.75 per square foot they are current renting business space at does come with some risk. Lots of space still open when I visted today. Rentals seem to be conducted as month-to-month only due to the desire to bulldoze and convert the property to more commercial housing. Cannot say I blame them since the rental market is strong right now and the views of the ocean when it is not foggy or overcast are pretty terrific from this location. But if a conversion is performed then the whole area will loose out on one aspect that give this part of Pacifica its unique charm and attractiveness.

I'm kinda sad because seeing over the years, this place is being more and more run down. Not in the sense that the mall is unmaintained - as they have recently repaved a decent section of the parking lot, but lots of shops are not taking as much care as others to keep the area clean and free of trash. There's also a huge amount of surveillance cameras that flash rapidly at night, giving it a very ghetto vibe. I used to come to the Starbucks at this location all the time because they're one of the only Starbucks open 24 hours, and have free wifi so I can study and whatnot.
