Fattening the Goo$e

September 20, 2011

I think it was former councilwoman Rosalie O'Mahony who called the B'game car dealerships our "Golden Goose". And she was right. Along with the hotels' Transient Occupancy Tax ("TOT") and various liquor establishments, the car dealerships keep the City coffers from draining. So the arrival of a new Nissan dealership is a welcome addition to Autorow. Apparently Millbrae's loss is our gain. This storefront could use a good cosmetic clean-up which I am sure it will get before you browse the new Leafs, Altimas, Maximas and 370Zs.

That’s great news! Good to see some of the longtime defunct dealerships come alive. Putnam also did an incredible facelift on what has become a Cadillac dealership- very classy looking. Over the border, the former Shen dealership remains an eyesore. It would be nice if the owner was able to at least open some business offices in there, even if temporarily. The location is pretty good, and the tenants would probably gravitate towards using Burlingame services, rather than San Mateo’s.
