We
visited
the
Galleria
at
Sunset
a
year
ago.
I
thought
it
would
be
unfair
to
review
this
shopping
center
at
the
time,
so
I
passed
on
writing
one.
It
was
like
walking
into
a
Twilight
Zone
episode
as
we
were
at
the
height
of
the
pandemic,
and
most
stores
were
closed,
vacant,
or
shuttered.
This
time
is
a
complete
turn-around.
The
mall
was
bustling
with
customers
the
likes
I
hadn't
seen
since
well
before
the
pandemic
started.
Most
(not
all)
stores
were
open
and
fully
stocked
with
merchandise,
unlike
a
year
ago.
I
would
say
that
something
less
than
10%
of
the
stores
was
either
closed,
vacant,
or
not
open
due
to
illness
or
employee
shortage.
There's
still
a
noticeable
shortage
of
employees
in
most
stores,
but
they
seem
to
be
making
some
headway
with
higher
pay
as
it
should
be.
The
mall
itself
was
much
cleaner
than
last
year,
and
you
see
staff
disinfecting
constantly.
There
was
a
noticeable
push
to
have
all
customers
wear
masks,
and
unlike
other
places,
most
mall-goers
were
wearing
theirs.
It
seems
there's
a
pent-up
desire
for
people
to
get
out
and
go
shopping
as
the
number
of
people
in
the
mall
was
significantly
more
than
I
have
seen
in
many
years.
I
hope
it
stays
this
way
as
it's
much
more
pleasant
to
walk
the
shopping
center
when
it's
crowded
with
shoppers.
All-in-all,
it
was
a
pleasant
few
hours
of
shopping,
and
I
look
forward
to
continued
progress
at
this
and
other
shopping
centers
going
into
the
Holiday
Christmas
season.
