Fourth hand is correct. And I will believe it when I see it, too.

trader joes is so much better - they opened one in bellingham for the canadians

its like 90% canadians shopping there I swear

whole foods is okay its like you can find stuff you know you are looking for in that orgain wholesome category... but its sooo expensive

There are no Trader Joe's in Canada and likely never will be.

Best Buy "coming soon" sign is up at Hanson Square. Been up for a week or so now.

Is it bad that I FINALLY went to Crossiron Mills and enjoyed myself?

You might as well be kicking puppies and saluting Hitler.

I know, I felt so dirty being there. As I walked in the door I could hear the quotes of SSP forumers ringing in my ears. But I like how spacious the stores are and the selection.

I am a dirty dirty whore.

Vancouver is finally getting a mills mall so we can enjoy what you all hate

Jimby · #**1370** Posted **Apr 27, 2011, 11:23 PM**

I'm a Cross Iron Country Hills Mill Mall virgin still.

Yume-sama · #**1371** Posted **Apr 27, 2011, 11:54 PM**

I didn't know we were supposed to hate Cross Iron. When was the memo sent?!

Jimby · #**1372** Posted **Apr 28, 2011, 12:00 AM**

is rampant consumerism what our society aspires to?

Yume-sama · #**1373** Posted **Apr 28, 2011, 12:05 AM**

Yes, the Country is a big strip mall.

McPaul · #**1374** Posted **Apr 28, 2011, 9:11 AM**

Where will it be in Vancouver?

I haven't been to cim yet either, but have been to Vaughan mills In On.

No transit, no visit.

SpongeG · #**1375** Posted **Apr 28, 2011, 9:35 AM**

it's being built out by the tswassen ferry terminal on the first nations land - there are renders in the BC suburbs thread (i think) its somewhere in the BC section

Stang · #**1376** Posted **Apr 28, 2011, 2:05 PM**

I'll admit to having gone to Crossiron a few times, but to be honest, there really isn't much there. It sounds like an odd statement for such a monstrosity, but I simply don't find myself drawn there over any of the other malls. Just more of the same types of shops that you see elsewhere.

SpongeG · #**1377** Posted **Apr 28, 2011, 9:51 PM**

they have outlets though which people can't get enough of in Canada and the mills brand probably has agreements with retailers to only open their outlets with them

bigcanuck · #**1378** Posted **Apr 28, 2011, 9:57 PM**

They have the only Carter's store in Calgary (if you have young ones). Also, they have (by far) the largest Babies 'R Us in town.

I'm sure there are other stores there that can't be found elsewhere in town but those 2 are enough to draw us there periodically.

Bass Pro is nice.

YYCguys · #**1380** Posted **Apr 29, 2011, 6:57 AM**

Bass Pro is tacky! I'd have to say a lot of things in that mall are tacky! The casino, if it ever goes ahead, is just going to add to the tackiness!
