Just to be a little more accurate its in Dartouth Crossing not one of the malls.

I've been to Champlain multiple times before and I've always wondered how many stores there are in the place? Whatever it is it's a massive mall.

Champlain Place boasts (from their website).

"With over 160 stores and services there are thousands of gift ideas under one roof!!"

The fact that they used double punctuation makes me hate that mall even more. Multiple! exclamation! marks! don't! make! what! you! say! more! exciting!!

Thanks "myles".

LOL

Clearly using more exclamation marks makes what you say more angry.

The only complaint I have about the mall is there is absolutely no cell serivce in that place. When I last there I was happy when my phone died because my phone resends me the last text message everytime I go out of service area. You'd think you'd get phone service in the downtown of a city.

I've wondered that myself. It most likely has something to do with the construction of the building. Maybe a metal roof is a poor conductor of cellular signals?

Thats exactly it. Too much interference, there are at least 5 cell towers within 2 km of the mall and I always have perfect signal anywhere in metro moncton, but as soon as you go into the mall of wal-mart etc its down to 1 or 2 bars.

I thought La Vie en Rose was going on Mapleton??

FireEyedBoy · #**4007** Posted **Feb 2, 2009, 4:36 PM**

Work has started at the site for the new Justice center, they are surveying and driving stakes in the ground now. I work at the Rogers call center accross the street, once the construction starts I will try to remember to take pics and post them here.

From what I have heard, they was supposed to open up a factory outlet store in Mapleton Power center like the one in Dartmouth Crossing.

At the end, maybe Moncton will get both.

Well, we have a Danier Leather store at Champlain and a Danier Leather Factory Outlet at Trinity so I guess that it is possible.....

Greater Moncton Airport has record year
February 03, 2009 - 12:02 pm
By: Rebecca Davis - News 91.9 Staff

MONCTON, NB - Amid a continued downturn in worldwide air travel, the Greater Moncton International Airport bucked the trend, by serving a record number of passengers in 2008.

Data shows that 573,688 people chose the Moncton airport in 2008, which is a 10.6 percent increase over 2007.

Airport president and ceo Rob Robichaud says airport officials are thrilled to have had another great year.

"We're very pleased - we were projecting an increase of between 6 and 8 (percent). But a number of factors come into play beyond our expectations and we got into the double digits."

Robichaud attributes the airport's success to its location and this region's dependency on air travel for business

Hey I got a question. Whats the concert line-up looking like for Magnetic Hill this summer?

I really want to know if there is anything worthwhile taking a weekend off to head up to see.

mylesmalley · #**4012** Posted **Feb 3, 2009, 9:48 PM**

I don't think they've announced if/what the big act/acts could/will be.
Sorry lol.
Answer your question?

No announcement yet....AC/DC is rumoured to be the headlining act for NB Day weekend but it's not official.

I think last year we got an announcement around the end of March.

60-day countdown
Published Tuesday February 3rd, 2009

The organizing committee for the 2009 Ford World Men’s Curling Championship, in partnership with United Way, Downtown Moncton Development, and the City of Moncton, is holding 60 Sweeps To The World’s today. This represents the 60-day countdown to the World Championships here in Moncton. For this event, a curling rink was built outside Moncton City Hall where one of the local curling leagues, the Ben Lavigne Curling League, will play its regular league games on the ice surface, from 8:30 a.m. until 5 p.m today. Here, Doug Mersereau and Al Forsythe flood the surface.

Ah okay thanks.

I thought you guys might have some announced since Halifax just had KISS oficially announced today.

I guess I'll have to keep on reading this thread for awhile yet to see if anything good comes to town.

mylesmalley · #**4017** Posted **Feb 3, 2009, 11:30 PM**

We'll keep you informed.

MonctonRad · #**4018** Posted **Feb 4, 2009, 12:04 AM**

The rumour is that there may be two concerts on the hill this year.

Marchabsfan · #**4019** Posted **Feb 4, 2009, 12:57 AM**

hey, I'm a chef at the delta beausejour and I was at the press conference for the eagles concert and it was a really really nice setup. Hopefully I will get the info earlier then everyone else. We prep the food for these things 1 or 2 days in advance.

Welcome to the forum Marchabsfan, we are always eager to have people on the inside who can provide us with all the juicy rumours.

It's amazing how many people are now on the Moncton forum.
