Malls

It was another gray and gloomy day today so I thought I'd visit our only downtown mall. This is the Bay Centre, a fairly modest mall by most standards since it lacks a water park, zoo, etc. There are other malls in Victoria but they tend to be on the outskirts of town and are one-level affairs surrounded by vast parking lots. It was quiet here today but on the weekend it will be crowded with people doing their Christmas shopping.

Yuletide jellyfish. A different twist on the theme than the Halloween jellies Kim in Seattle offered.

I'm all for stacking stuff like these businesses up, using a smaller building footprint. Well chosen.

Wow. Hanging lights. I like your mall, modest and all. It is not wall to wall with people and I suppose the merchants wish it was. But these are hard times here in the states and maybe it is up there in Victoria. I don't know.

I think this is my first trip to your blog. I am in Brookville, Ohio and it is cold this morning – 13 degree Fahrenheit = -10.5555556 degree Celsius. If I were just walking past you on the street I would probably smile and nod my head. I hope you would too. LOL

At least the shopkeepers hope it will be full of people doing Christmas shopping.

I think this will be a tough Christmas for retailers.

I feel sorry for the retailers but the lack of people made for a great shot. The hanging lights make the mall look magical..

Love it! The lights are so pretty...we visited this mall on our trip. I thought it was just right! I have never been to a "Super" mall and don't know that I ever want to go! :) Great capture!
