My wife and I were both home today and had a few things we needed to pick up so we decided to head over to Square One rather than hitting our usual shopping malls (Sherway Gardens, Eaton's Centre).
It has been a couple of years since I last visited Square One, and as some of you may know it has changed quite a bit. They expanded the second floor and added a few restaurants and a new movie theatre. It looks great.
The mall has all the standard stores that most of us like to shop at. The one common trend I noticed in all the stores was that most of the clothes were fairly common items. The stores were missing the cool articles of clothing that get you excited to go shopping or make you remember a store/designer.
I think that I might be used to living/working/shopping downtown where you can find the latest and greatest each store has to offer (hmmm, that line sounds kind of snobbish but I it's the truth).
TIP: Square One is OK for picking up the standard items, but if you want the good stuff go downtown.
