O ne of my Facebook friends loves to write little rambles as he calls them. They are interesting little glimpses into his world, and I always enjoy reading them. I suppose I enjoy his rambles in part, because I love a good ramble myself whether literally or figuratively.
Since our move to Tennessee my rambling has been curtailed a bit, but I'm planning to make up for lost time! Alex, my grandlove, and I sat over breakfast the other morning discussing how we wanted to spend the day. The omelets, bacon, and toast disappeared rather quickly as we let our minds roam to possibilities.
San Jose's Eastridge celebrates 50 years of shopping memories
I spent some time this week at Eastridge Center, the San Jose mall that celebrated its 50th birthday on May 17. Having not been there in quite some time, I wanted to see how the shopping center stacked up to my memories. I came away pleasantly surprised by how familiar it remains.
Unlike Westfield Valley Fair and Oakridge malls in San Jose, which have been expanded and re-modeled so many times it’s hard to remember what they used to be, Eastridge is still recognizable despite its own updates. Billed as the largest indoor mall in the West when it launched in 1971, Eastridge was a big deal for residents in Evergreen and East San Jose, who no longer had to drive to Valley Fair or Westgate to shop.

Enjoy a warm and slightly muggy weekend! Highs will remain in the mid to upper 80s as skies remain mostly sunny. By Sunday, there could be a few stray showers and perhaps a rumble of thunder or two to the north. The 80s stick around for the first half of the workweek, along with…
Warming Trends: What Happens Once We Stop Shopping, Nano-Devices That Turn Waste Heat into Power
What would happen if we all stopped shopping? What would change in that first hour, day, week or year after people halted purchasing more than they absolutely needed? How would our society, economy and planet react?
Those are the questions that author J.B. MacKinnon tackles in his new book, "The Day the World Stops Shopping," publishing in the U.S. on May 25. The Canadian journalist, who has long covered systemic environmental issues like local food access, wrote this book exploring what would happen if consumption dropped to 25 percent of its current rate, leaving us with just the key essentials.
The Pandemic Might Have Saved Brick-And-Mortar Shopping
"With vaccinations rolling out across the country and consumers increasingly comfortable venturing out, we've seen an enthusiastic return to in-store shopping," Target CEO Brian Cornell told analysts during an earnings call.
The rise of curbside pickup also reflects this trend, Chen said, as a kind of midpoint between e-commerce and in-store shopping. It's been embraced by Walmart and Target to great success, with many return customers. Curbside shopping is also ideal for stores, which get the benefit of lower fulfillment costs as customers complete the expensive last mile of shipping themselves.

Carbon counter: delivery van vs shopping trip - California News Times
Of course, its benign results are not guaranteed. Online sales can result in carbon emissions of 6.6 kg per item if fewer parcels are sent over longer shipping routes. That’s more than three times that of traditional retailers. Consumers can contribute to the problem by going out when the courier calls, requesting prompt delivery, or using the “free returns” option.
Physical store retailers tend to be highly carbon-intensive due to the energy they use for lighting, heating, and cooling. This can exceed 800g per item. Customer transportation is also a major factor. But it depends a lot on whether the shopper is on a special trip, how they travel, and how much they buy.
