  • Vaughan Mills mall does strike one as having been built with a Plan B in mind. If the mall thing fails, it could be quickly turned into a warehouse, a factory producing light industrial goods, a movie sound stage, or maybe even an airplane hanger where Bombardier could build its next generation turboprops. It's always good to have a Plan B. I got mine. Oh wait, my current job is my Plan B. Never mind. Vaughan Mills is basically a big long box you kind of have to just walk around with no apparent ability to cross over save for the food court. The mall proprietors try to soften the warehouse/airplane hanger feel by unconvincingly dividing the big long box into different "neighborhoods", each with its own theme. There's a fashion neighborhood, a nature zone, a fish under the sea-o-rama, etc. It basically amounts to a change in colors, different bench styles, and some faux fireplaces. It all reminds me of my childhood where we'd turn our garage into a haunted house and subdivide the garage with ropes and blankets, forming little "zones of terror". It's a solution that works for 10 year olds but when you're designing your city's signature mall, you might not want to start with the premise that a long metal box is inherently exciting, warm, and welcoming. There are some interesting enough stores here, many of the "outlet" variety, like a Benetton Outlet. It's also one of those rare large sized malls not anchored by a Bay or Sears. This is a mall purely for the NASCAR dad demographic. There's no Manchu Wok but there is a Timothy's, a Second Cup, and a Starbucks. The major joe chains represent and that could keep peace in some families. It would in mine. If I had one. A family.
