| - I can't explain it, but I really enjoy going to Marlborough Mall. There is nothing about the mall, or the stores inside it, that makes it any better than any other mall. It's a decent size, but nothing fantastic. It has a decent selection of stores, but once again nothing amazing. It has a Walmart, which is either a good or bad thing depending on your preferences. But for some strange reason, I light up at the prospect of going.
I will speak to a few stores though that I like. Oddly, being a guy and all, I strongly recommend Studio 2000 for hair products. Their prices are pretty cheap from what I've seen (confirmed by my fiance). Anthony's Jewellers is another good bet. Not the only location in Calgary, and certainly not the only mall location, but I've always found Anthony's in general to be a good jeweller. And, perhaps most importantly, they have a Showcase store. One of those stores that sells "as seen on TV" merchandise. Actually, that's probably why I like this mall so much. And why I don't watch any shopping channels.
They recently opened a small Tim Horton's here as well, which was a pleasant surprise. And of course, the aforementioned Walmart. I generally hate going to Walmart, mostly due to the crowds. This location isn't too bad though. Although some of the customers are undesirable, if you know what I mean.
Almost forgot, they have one of the last remaining San Francisco stores here. Ever since I was a kid, that store has always cheered me up!
