Oh Dixie Outlet Mall, a.k.a. Dixie Value Mall, a.k.a. Dixie Dirt Mall...what am I to make of you? On the one hand you are the major shopping centre located most closely to where I live and on the other hand...
Okay, let's go over the positives, the big one being that it's pretty close to me but I don't think that proximity should really factor into a review. Just because I'm too lazy / agitated to brave Mississauga's ever worsening traffic and drive to either Square One or Sherway Gardens that doesn't give DOM a free pass. So what else is there? They have a Michael's and that was pretty important leading up to my wedding and probably will be again seeing as my wife is in school to be an educator. And, uh...there's a Stitch-It location there? Came in handy when I needed a zipper repaired? And a serviceable food court that I would only go to because I'm in here already and need something to eat? And...okay, that's it I've pretty much run out of selling features.
There is a Winners which is sort of nice but to be fair, I don't think I've found anything worthwhile in that location in quite a while (not that I check that often but still). Then there's this other large clothing discount store called Designer Depot that has to be the crappiest discount clothing store I've ever been in. Seriously, I walked through the rather large space in about sixty seconds and could easily tell that there was absolutely nothing worth even looking at. And also a whole bunch of other discount / outlet clothing stores that I pretty much walk right past as I try to remember why I came to the mall in the first place and why am I still here? At least it's a lot cleaner than it used to be.
So I guess it's sort of okay and there may be some decent things at decent prices if I really cared enough to look closely but I don't really. Again, why am I in here? I've grown to hate shopping malls. Oh right, the zipper on my jacket.
