703:-But the changes don't stop there. Apparently, Westfield wants to completely re-tenant and remodel the whole building. As a Metreon fan (back in it's good days), I'm a bit saddened to this. As long as Westfield stays true to their word and keep the same original idea/feel of Metreon (something like that, poorly paraphrased), I won't mind, but if they make it into another mall like the Centre next door (also owned by westfield), that would suck in my book. But evidence of these changes is clear, with Things From Another World now gone and construction walls up near the management offices. This feels like Disney's billion-dollar makeover of Disney's California Adventure, but instead of fixing up a troubled park to ring in guests, it's an entertainment center/building/mall. 267: 173: 146: 74: 183: 53: 255: 22: 469:. With all the tenants that have left, the place is now mostly vacant except for the movie theaters. The theaters are hurting since the new Century multiplex opened a block away. The latest thing is to use some of the vacant retail for corporate exhibits in conjunction with trade shows in the nearby convention center. -- 640:
There is little to no info on Sony's proprietary store w/in the Metreon. I remember when the Metreon first opened, they had a 60" HDTV that was $ 20k and also had Mini disc players for sale too. They had a music store within the Sony Style store too. I'm not sure what has changed since I dont live in

I am not saying anything about the notability of the article, but the notability of those events. Even though they are cited, I just don't see the significance to include killings. But I guess that is just me. So if editors think that they should be included, then go ahead and keep it. I am not going

There is no info on the PS store, that is where the guy got held up at gun point for a PS3 at launch November 2006. The PS store is THE official place for the launches of the PS2, PSP, and PS3 respectively since SCEA is located in the south bay area (Foster City). When the store first opened it was

shopping center" section? I have not seen this before. I live in San Francisco and Metreon is not known to be a dangerous place. In any major city there are crimes that result in death in lots of different places (what a sad fact), but this seems like a trivial entry. Or perhaps the opposite is true

Metreon sucks, do not waste your time or money. I went there for one of my birthdays and everything was dissapointing. The ads made it seem cool, but when you get there everything is merely half as good as you expect (or less). Even the tasty sounding asian soup I had been looking forward to was

Actually, Knowledge (XXG) notability is for the article, not material within the article. Within the article, the main issue is verifiability. These are cited, verifiable incidents reported in the mainstream press, which satisfies

280: 156: 700:-Mention of the new Tavern on the Green addition to the complex, which will take up the whole top level (formerly "where the wild things are" and "titanic" exhibit) and will be "San Francisco's biggest restaurant" 656:
It's still there, but not doing well. They seem to have a stock of old flat-screen displays that are nice but about 3x current prices. They're stuck as the last upscale store in what is now a low end mall.

The large "Metreon" signs have disappeared. The big signage now says "City Target". Target itself uses the name "San Francisco Central" (they also have a San Francisco West), or simply "Store Number 2766"

It's not looking good. The Starbucks went out of business. One of the original outlets in the food court closed. Much vacant space. Not clear if the Tavern on the Green thing is going to happen. --

geared toward the PSone (aka the PSX (not the dvr) in its time) and transitioned to the PS2 when it launched. The PS store is the place for Playstation merchandise, games and accessories.

Target is in and open. The Metreon is a Target store now, plus the movie theaters and a food court. Many giant Target logos on the building, with a few remaining "Metreon" signs. --

while i'm at it, I think this should be cleaned up and have sections like shops, previous attractions (now that all the attractions are gone, excluding theaters), and exhibits?
