Oh, I totally agree. I imagine the Meadowlands becoming a sort of "up town" for Ancaster. I just pray that they get rid of the Big Box mentally first and start building up a streetwall instead of sticking everything 3kms back from the road!
We all know Big Box is a fad as well, and we're coming into these village-esq shopping destinations. In the near future, people will appreciate walking & taking public transit to this centre... even suburbanites (they'll have no choice if there's no fuel to power their EnviroKillers). So when that day comes, The Meadowlands will see a transformation even the biggest 'burb-haters can agree on.
Sadly, I don't see as bright of a future for the area I grew up in, Upper Stoney Creek (Heritage Green, Eflrida, & 'Summit Park'). They ruined a great hood when they began the big box craze a couple years ago
(the new Hwy didn't help either).
