Pacific Mall just isn't what it used to be.
Back then, all the booths challenged each other in offering the lowest prices on goods, and people would casually walk into each store to find the best deal. However due to the growth of Markham, the parking lot outside has become a scene of collisions, bad drivers, unobserving pedestrians, and overall confusion. Meanwhile the mall interior is now full of customers pushing and shoving each other to find the deals...except there's no more competition anymore, everything is priced the same throughout.
I also remembered when I used to always play in the second floor arcade before they changed it to some Playdium wannabe ripoff. No more of that anymore. I also remembered when the food court and bars had somewhat tolerable food. Again, many of those have gone downhill in quality.
For the tourists wishing to visit Pacific Mall, may I suggest First Markham Place. You get the same deals, and the stores are much better organized.
