This
is
a
difficult
review
to
do
because
this
is
just
a
typical
shopping
center
designed
in
the
1970s.
It
has
been
renovated
and
is
clean
and
spacious.
This
mall
is
perfectly
centrally
located
in
Ottawa
and
has
a
big
chain
grocery
store
(they
will
load
the
groceries
into
your
car),
a
Walmart,
banks,
jewelry,
clothes,
dentist...
heck...
it
pretty
much
has
it
all
in
terms
of
shopping.
The
food
court
is
up
on
the
2nd
level...
a
bit
awkward
to
navigate
in
a
wheelchair
but
accessible.
Parking
is
plenty
and
free.
So...
for
a
review
of
a
mall...
I
asked
myself,
"Why
only
4
stars
not
5?"
This
place
lacks
a
"vibe"...
a
real
energy
that
other
malls
have
AND
driving
to
this
place
is
awkward
as
the
entrance
to
parking
is
off
a
very
busy
street
or
off
a
one-way
street.
Bottom
line:
I
go
regularly
because
it
is
operating
at
lower
customer
traffic
flow-through
than
capable
of,
and
I
don't
like
crowds...
so
good
for
me,
bad
for
the
merchants.
Walmart
is
always
full,
though
(grrr)
Ex-banker
assessment:
before
renting
a
space
here,
I
would
advise
careful
consideration
of
cost
of
leasing
vs
traffic.
Mall
is
improving
though.
