How is the public transit in the FV area? Is the mall itself a hub?... The Fashion Valley Transit Center is located several hundred feet south of the JC Penney store on the grounds of FV. It is a stop on the San Diego Trolley (light rail) and a hub for several bus stops. While that might seem like ...

Actually that Marketon has 8 parking spaces out front for curbside pick up. I rarely see anyone using the parking spaces and I am annoyed they are not available for walk in customers.

So the Unions now allow 3 hour shifts? That's weird and plainly WRONG! I was shocked when I first heard it directly from an Albertsons employee standing next to me and talking to a cashier (who was totally ignoring me the customer as he rang up my transaction) that they were scheduled by "the ...

I am not surprised about Outback-Carrabba's closing locations.
