This isn't actually a major department store or major
shopping mall, but I'll mention it anyway. If you like kittens
and cats, "San Francisco's first cat cafe" had
a grand opening in San Francisco in 2015, it's called KitTeaSF at http://www.kitteasf.com
(because you pet kittens and cats while drinking tea) and is at
1266 Valencia and 24th Street in San Francisco, KitTeaSF is owned by
a woman named Courtney Hatt (Courtney doesn't just love cats and
actually looks like
a cat while having a face like a cat, e.g. a Siamese cat with really
big furry cheeks or a Persian cat with really big furry cheeks) and
her husband and another
man, and you basically need to pay an hourly admission fee just to
pet and play with kittens and cats (you can also buy food and drinks
to eat too, and if you
like the cats enough you can even permanently adopt them for a
additional pet-adoption fee and permanently bring them home to raise
as a pet)...the only
people that really visit "San Francisco's first cat cafe" is
financially-rich women from San Francisco's Financial District and
Marina District and Pacific Heights
and West Portal and St. Francis Woods or even Marin County who
REALLY love cats and would be willing to pay an hourly admission fee
just to pet kittens and
cats (aka all female staff members from all major department stores
and major shopping malls in San Francisco would immediately run to
"San Francisco's first
cat cafe" just to pet kittens and cats while maybe secretly feeding
them food and drinks, and all female businesswomen that work in San
Francisco's Financial
District will immediately do the same thing too).
To find out about the history and origins of "cat cafes",
check out https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cat_caf%C3%A9
. The world's first cat cafe was created in
Taipei in Taiwan in 1998, and right after that tons of cat cafes
were created all over Japan. North America's first cat cafe was
founded in Oakland in California
in 10/2014, it's called Cat Town at http://cattownoakland.org/cat-town-cafe
. After North America's first cat cafe had a grand opening in
10/2014, people
nationwide throughout North America started creating cat cafes
nationwide throughout North America, as of 12/2014 aka two months
later 31 cat cafes existed
nationwide throughout North America, to prove it check out http://www.laundrocat.com/there-are-currently-21-cat-cafes-in-the-united-states.

to
do
rollerskating
in San Francisco there's only one
indoor rollerskating rink total and it's Sacred Heart Church at 544
Fillmore Street which became an abandoned building and later got
converted into a indoor
rollerskating rink called Church of 8 Wheels at http://www.churchof8wheels.com
at 544 Fillmore Street and Fell Street, if you want to do outdoors
rollerskating the only place where you can do it without getting
fined by police is San Francisco's Golden Gate Park...if you want to
do rollerblading, Sacred
Heart Church's indoors rollerskating rink is mainly for
rollerskating but you can actually use rollerblades there instead,
and San Francisco's Golden Gate Park
is the only place in San Francisco where you can rollerblade without
getting fined by police, specifically the main rollerblading place
in San Francisco's Golden
Gate Park is 6th Avenue and Fulton. To get a list of all

studio, for more information
check out http://sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/2012/04/06/best-places-to-go-horseback-riding-in-san-francisco

Daly City I take no legal
liability or financial liability for any accidents or injuries or
deaths that happen so don't sue me if anything bad happens).

paintball team is the world's largest paintball-gun team with over

If you like to visit all major department stores and major
shopping malls in San Francisco to buy food and drinks from their
food courts, you might want to
know that San Francisco has something called "competitive eating"
contests in which a large group of people pay like $20 admission fee
to join a eating
contest and whoever eats the most food within a 30-minute time limit
wins $1,000 grand prize (e.g. whoever can eat 800 hamburgers in 30
minutes total wins
$1,000 grand prize), or a single person pays $20 admission fee to
buy some giant-sized meal or giant-sized portion of food and if
he/she finishes eating
everything within a certain time limit like 5 minutes total he/she
wins some prize ranging from free food to a free t-shirt to having
your face photographed to be
placed in the restaurant's "hall of fame vs. hall of shame for
competitive eaters". To find out more about "competitive

f
you
think
that
"competitive
eating"
contests
in
San
Francisco
don't have large cash prizes, check out http://eatfeats.com/calendar/LosAngeles.html
because "competitive eating" contests in Los Angeles have cash
prizes
of $1,000 to $10,000 and later on "competitive eating" contests in
San Francisco might have $10,000 cash prizes too. If you say
that there's no such thing
as "competitive eating" contests where you pay $20 admission fee and
then try to eat 800 hamburgers total in just 30 minutes in order to
win a $1,000 cash
prize, there actually are several nationwide TV series that
specialize in portraying "competitive eating" contests and you can
watch all of these TV show
about "competitive eating" contests just by visiting
http://www.youtube.com to type in "Adam Richman" "Man v. Food" or

PLEASE NOTE that "competitive eating" contests
might actually be dangerous and you could actually choke to death
just by trying to eat 800 hamburgers in just 30 minutes total, so if
you do participate in
any "competitive eating" contests I hold no legal or financial
liability for anything that happens so don't sue me if you or
somebody else accidentally choke to
death while eating 800 hamburgers total in 30 minutes or eating 800
portions of french fries with ketchup in 30 minutes or eating 100
XXL sausage-and-
pepperoni pizzas in 30 minutes. Also, if you're truly
desperate to find out if "competitive eating" contests happen in San
Francisco, you could try visiting
Adam Richman's Facebook account to send him a Facebook email to ask
him if he knows of any existing or upcoming "competitive eating"
contests in
