What's the problem with Union Square? A closer look at downtown SF's retail woes
One of the most visited areas of San Francisco during the holiday season is Union Square.

For a closer look, KCBS Radio news anchor Bret Burkhart spoke with Chris Thornberg, founding partner of Beacon Economics in today's edition of The State of California.
