They are spending a big $2.5 million on Masonville. That is such an incredibly low amount of money when you see how much money other malls (hundreds of millions) are investing. It's really too bad that London has so much sprawl. I don't know if it's the malls to blame or who, but we live in a country where almost half the year, you can count on extreme cold or extreme heat - so mall shopping makes so much more sense than doing the big box crawl. If that CrapCentre in Hyde Park wasn't built, then Masonville would maybe have more stores. Most Old Navy stores I've seen in other cities are in malls, but in London, both stores are big box. Sorry for the rant.
