[Master Plan Dan]

It is funny... in Pickering Ontario we had the Pickering Town Centre and it to fell into decline once the theaters left. Then the food court kind of died and finally it went into suspended animation.

I left and moved out here to Vancouver, and since then they have gone in and totally redesigned the place. They have couches and sitting areas with area rugs down the centre of the mall. It is so busy now.

Despite the fact that the "Power Centres" are bigger and expanding everywhere, nothing beats going into a mall and shopping without having to enter the cold Ontario winters everytime you leave a store.

I still like malls... but now that I live in North Van... there aren't to many that I visit.
