A curse seems to have fallen on Santana Row, a $750 million project of shopping, townhomes, restaurants, and a 4-star hotel right across from the Century dome theatres, the Winchester Mystery House, and Valley Fair that was supposed to completely open September 19. (Only Crate & Barrel is open right now.) You see, when the first shovel of dirt was moved, the economy started to go down and the era of the dot-com was over. Then after longtime business Courtesy Chevrolet was forced out, one of the structures collapsed. And now comes today. The hotel, parking garage, and some stores are on fire creating a billow of smoke completely darkening that part of the city. Say adios to this center for a long time to come.
