Considering his distant connection to Nancy Pelosi and she had that "Good morning. Sunday morning." system reboot mid-interview recently... it's certainly possible.

Guess you haven't been to any Whole Foods in the Bay Area. The produce guy will actually be the one speaking to you in this manner.

That Westin property sure did turn out nice! A huge improvement for the Resort District overall! Now it just needs a Resort to operate in.
How much longer do we think GardenWalk can hang in there? Most everything inside the mall has closed, but the restaurants along Katella are still trying to operate with their patios and take-out service. But for how much longer?

Have the owner not try to teamed up with Postmates? It working well with my beloved Pho establishment. I thought they would go bankrupt at any moment like other business establishments next door.

See that faux-branch detail in the second floor window? In the 20th century, the Alpine Inn had old timey Tiffany lamps on in those windows for effect. Kind of like the lamp above the Fire Station on Main Street USA that is eternally lit to symbolize Walt's presence in the park.
I would hope that at night those lamps at the Alpine Inn are still lit. But if they aren't, it's probably the sign that Mr. Alpine has left the building, literally and figuratively.

Thanks @George Lucas on a Bench for the pictures. Loved the memories.
You're not as up on your college names as I thought you were. It's now Valencia College. Before then, it was Valencia Community College. It hasn't been VJC since like the 80s or 90s. Catch up man!
Gonna be great when we find out that Disney actually has been working with Newsom this entire time to keep Gardenwalk closed and then buy it out.
I kinda thought the same thing. Not only are these bureaucrats and politicians, they are from Sacramento and they are simply not the type to visit theme parks.
I wish I'd known they were going to Florida last week! I would have arranged for their Uber driver to take them to the Orlando Fun Spot instead of WDW, and then bribed a college kid from Valencia Junior College (Go Matdors!) to dress up in a Mickey Mouse costume from Party City and wave at them in the Fun Spot parking lot.

Disney CEO says ‘arbitrary’ Disneyland reopening guidelines not based on ‘actual fact’
‘It seems to me that the guidelines that are set up by the state of California are more stringent than any state across the country,’ according to Disney CEO Bob Chapek.
www.ocregister.com
>>Disney CEO Bob Chapek says California’s “arbitrary” theme park reopening guidelines have been set up by Gov. Gavin Newsom’s administration “without regard for actual fact” and are the most stringent standards in the United States.
Chapek commented on California theme park reopening guidelines during an interview with CNBC’s “Closing Bell.”
“It seems to me that the guidelines that are set up by the state of California are more stringent than any state across the country,” Chapek told CNBC. “If you look at the history of Disney and what we’ve been able to do during the reopening — rather than arbitrary standards set up without regard to actual fact — and what we’ve been able to do as a company, I think you’d come to a different decision about reopening Disneyland.”
Disneyland, Disney California Adventure and other California theme parks closed in mid-March amid the COVID-19 pandemic and remain shuttered while they await reopening guidelines from the state.
Initial draft guidelines from the state reportedly call for reopening individual California theme parks at 25% capacity once their county reaches the least-restrictive “minimal” risk level and limiting attendance to residents who live within 120 miles of each park.
“It’s not much of a negotiation,” Chapek told CNBC. “It’s pretty much a mandate that we stay closed.”
Disney announced in late September that 28,000 employees will be laid off in the Disney Parks, Entertainment and Products division — mostly at Disneyland and Disney World — as the company continues to struggle with the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.
An exact count of the layoffs at the Disneyland resort is not yet available, but an early estimate puts the number in excess of 8,700 employees — with the number expected to rise. Many remaining Disneyland employees are still on furlough — which began in April.
“Obviously, we’re watching very carefully what the state of California does as an indicator of whether we can retain some of our cast members that are on furlough now,” Chapek told CNBC. “We’d like to put our cast members back to work — as many of them as possible — as soon as possible if the government will let us.”
Disney theme parks in China, France, Japan and Florida have reopened with attendance capacity limits following extended coronavirus closures. Disney World hosted the “NBA Bubble” playoffs at Disney’s ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex — which was won by the Los Angeles Lakers.
“I look across our Disney properties — be it Shanghai, Tokyo, Hong Kong, Paris, Walt Disney World, the Disney bubble for the NBA — and all I see is that we’ve been able to open up responsibly using the guidelines that health care experts have given us,” Chapek told CNBC. “As a result, we’ve been very, very successful at reopening without having issues that would preclude us from staying open.”
Disney theme parks have issued guidelines that are now familiar as part of the “new normal” in the COVID-19 era: Mandatory masks, social distancing, increased sanitization, contactless payments, reduced attraction capacity and employee training.
“We’re limited by the six-foot social-distancing guideline of the CDC and that translates, essentially, to about a 25% park capacity,” Chapek told CNBC. “Every day, that’s about where we’re at — 25% — and that won’t change until the CDC guidelines change.”<<

State officials tour Disneyland and Universal Studios Hollywood to review reopening plans
California theme parks have been asking state officials for months to visit their properties and review their COVID-19 health and safety protocols with the in-state tours only coming after Newsom’s…

Except the proposed draft guidelines wouldn’t let them open in a timely manner. Obviously they wouldn’t accept “you can open sometime after nearly everyone has been vaccinated” (which is basically what the Yellow Tier means at this point)...They should accept the guidelines if they seek to open badly.

Yes, they clearly need to negotiate for a better deal, one that would actually allow them to operate. Thankfully, Gavin has sent Top Men on a research mission to Florida to experience Pandora: The World of Avatar, Kiliminjaro Safaris, Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge, the World Showcase, Disney Springs and many other attractions also featured in the Disneyland Resort. The New Guidelines should be out soon.

I automatically revert all existing community college names to Junior College. I remember when the junior colleges all dropped the "Junior" from their names in the 1980's because they thought it made them sound cooler. Then about 10 years ago they all dropped the word "community" from their titles.
Seriously? Why not just rename yourself Harvard University and get it over with.
I thought the name game was laughable back then, and I refuse to play along to this day. Go Matadors!

Yeah, but Valenica actually confers four-year degrees now. They've grown up and are now a real boy ;-)I automatically revert all existing community college names to Junior College.
