I went to check out the Chinook Expansion today. Parked in the North Parkade, in the basement of the new expansion building. The parkade is very well lit and lots of aids to help you find your parking spot. They have thought of everything, especially for handicapped parking spots, which are close to the entrance of the shopping centre.
The escalator took me to the main floor of the new expansion buidling where the fancy shops are. It's like being in mini Las Vegas Premium Outlet Shops with all the designer and fancy stores like Burberry, Coach, Fossil etc. I can see many shoppers buying expensive handbags and walking out of the store with their purchase.
It's nice and airy in here. It's not so claustrophobic as CrossIron Mills, I find. I think the rest of the mall may have to keep up with the new expansion side.
