San Francisco Ferry Building
Pedestrian traffic is sparse this Friday morning. Liz Claiborne vacated its retail space, the bookstore is gone, and several food kiosks have closed up shop. The constant drumbeat of macroeconomic misery sensitizes us to the woes of local businesses, much as global warming makes us notice hot summer days. The tourists will return in April during spring break, and our spirits will brighten with the rising temperatures. © 2009 Stephen Yuen
