This TikTok video features a college student highlighting the top San Francisco Bay Area places he wants to visit when quarantine ends. His wishes include Great American in Santa Clara, Pier 39 in San Francisco, Grizzly Peak in Berkeley, the Outlets of SF in Livermore, Ocean Beach in San Francisco, Twin Peaks in San Francisco, Broadway Plaza in Walnut Creek, Mission Peak in Fremont, and the Great Mall in Milpitas. The creator titled his video "At this point I miss taking BART too." BART is the public transit system that connects the Bay Area and is known for being overcrowded and often sketchy. This person must be desperate for a sense of normalcy to miss riding BART.
