Bridgeside Shopping Center

This is a very nice shopping center with Nob Hill Foods as the primary tenets of the center. Has a few stores and restaurants. Also has a gas station that is run by Nob Hill Foods.

My family frequents this shopping center for gas, groceries, pet supplies, and now Korean fast food.
My beef: the shopping center owner/​developer, with the City of Alameda’s consent, really blew an incredible opportunity to create a more unique waterfront oriented retail center.
Instead, what we are left with for the next 3+ decades is a ho-​hum suburban strip mall where ALL of the retail establishments turn their back on the estuary.
True, it is an estuary and does not offer expansive bay or SF views. But the estuary has been cleaned up and Alameda — Oakland continue their restoration efforts. Today, dragonboat, outrigger and crew teams regularly practice along the estuary.
Such a shame…

My neighborhood shopping center isn’t huge but have a nice grassy area facing the estuary with benches where you can lounge with coffee, ice cream or hang with your dog. The shopping center is anchored by Nob Hill Foods with several coffee places, restaurants and other businesses.
