There are things about this mall I like a lot, and some things that I find a little annoying..
I'm not going to bring up the prices of most things in this mall, because as someone who has lived in the US for a long time, I would suspect its obvious that everything here is exorbitantly overpriced.. That whole topic is settled as far as I'm concerned..
My favorite part about the mall is the food court on the top floor with the class roof/ceiling. The views are amazing, and the selection of food court kiosks are in line with the general feel of the mall...being a lot of white, clean cut lines, water features and the food is very Asian fusion, looking very clean and healthy for the most part.
What I don't really like is the awful escalator situation... I've found myself wasting much time looking for the right up or down escalator, and the elevators are slow, cumbersome, not much help, and the recorded voice that announces which floor one is arriving on, has an awful Irish accent (or something that passes for it ("going down" sounds like "goin duyyyyn").. this is Calgary people, not the London subway..get with the program..(i say that with love of course)
Theres always a robust collection of transient street people present.. No judgment here, i mean I'm sure they need to warm up at times in the winter, but seeing people in tattered "clothing" that may or may not have seen the inside of a clothes washer since the first Bush administration adds a certain edge to the mall's ambience.
But I digress.. I still like this mall better than larger centers like Chinook and would definitely recommend it to people staying downtown
