Mississauga Developments

[plam]

I will say I have an special hate on for The Boardwalk as it took the adventure guide away. I used to frequent it for outdoor equipment regularly. Haven't been in it since it moved. I always thought it was a weird business decision. Seemed like the perfect brand to be located in uptown or downtown, not in strip mall that only serves one side of town.

Yeah, I was at one of the Banff Film Festival screenings and Adventure Guide announced the move and people cheered. I was like "this is terrible!" To be fair, the old space was pretty hard to work with, and probably much of their customer base has a car and lives closer to there than not, but I'm personally generally not willing to go there. (Biking there is actually terrible). I've complained to front line staff, though of course they don't make the decisions. But something like the Chapters location would be much better.

Oh, and I totally agree about the Boardwalk. It has neither the “get out of the car and into a building once” of a large mall, nor the “wander around a pleasant commercial neighbourhood” aspect of a place like Uptown. It’s bad for everyone who uses it, even those who prefer to drive places.

Can we rant about Toronto Premium Outlets again? They do have awnings though.
