I'm a get in get what you want and get out guy when it comes to malls.
So I appreciate that Fairview is not as crowded as other malls like Yorkdale, while still having a pretty good number and variety of stores. Layout is simple, food court good sized with decent options and the place looks nice and has a more laidback feel for me.
What I am not a fan of is the hassle finding parking, but even that is as good as most other malls.
