So, it's in Ontario, there are trees nearby, and the store runs counter-clockwise (you go in the right door, not the left; some are the other way around).

Can anyone figure out where it is?? Does anyone care?

A Mohawk community centre just off the 400 near Georgian Bay. Maybe the funds were donated by McDonalds.

Yeah the Maxbell reclad is very unfortunate. What makes it worse is its prominence from the river and deerfoot on top of the hill. There was a ketchup and mustard trend in the 00's that was just horrible.

That mohawk centre has a nice form underneath the condiment colours at least.

To be fair, the Mohawk one follows the colour of their flag. The building itself isn't horrifying and actually, one could say it fits the surrounding quite nicely. There's nothing else even close to it so it's not like it's an eyesore to neighbours. And on a grey winter day, which you often get around Georgian Bay, this could be a welcome splash of colour and interesting style when driving by.

Wouldn't want this down the street from me in the city or anything like that.

Yeah, it's a rare example of some postmodernism I can get behind.

I think It’s in Oakville. Speaking of Oakville uglies the Hopedale Mall (or South Oakville) belongs here. Ugly on the outside, dead on the inside!







Utterly Hopeless

I noticed that when visiting relatives out west. A lot of dark orange and yellow accents on condos and businesses. Luckily, we were spared this in Ottawa. Instead, our biggest developer (Claridge) must have gotten a good deal on shitty teal/mint glass and spandrel....it's everywhere!

Wow that Oakville mall is really depressing and somewhat surprising due to Oakville being a very wealthy city.

Wealthy = boring. I bet it's the most popular mall in town.

Far from it . It just so happens I’m in Oakville right now for a meeting with a client who lives there and his house is right by the Hopeless Mall. I’ll see if I can duck in after and take some pics.

Oakville doesn't have many malls. Oakville Place is the only real mall there and I like it. Wouldn't have said that in my 20s but it's always bright in there, very low vacancy, never congested with people but never dead. Not much of a store selection though, but at this point I don't need that.

However, that mall is very surprising. It's in an amazing mature neighbourhood and you'd think there would be something, anything better than that. There is a fancy restaurant in there, which is surprising, so I guess they much have a really low lease rate.

It also unsurprisingly has a basement bowling alley, which is what you'd expect given the exterior.

The only reason I go to this mall is to see what inventory that Winners currently has in stock.
