The not good: Restrooms near the food court had three sinks which were Out Of Order and no paper towels and no visible air dryer. T&T and Bagel House are here as is Mammilas! There are a bunch of fast-food franchises on the periphery.

My sister and I were recently visiting Toronto and visited the Promenade to grab coffee with our…read morecousin. We planned for extra time so that we could walk around the mall. It's been many years since we've been in the Promenade, and it probably wouldn't be a surprise that we barely recognized it as a lot has changed. We stopped by in the early afternoon on a Friday. My sister and I met my cousin at Tim Hortons in the food court. While my cousin and I both enjoyed a beverage and a donut at Tim Hortons, my sister instead opted for Yogenfruz. My sister later had lunch at Sushi-Q while I chose Feta & Olives. We were surprised a number of the food vendors were closed on a weekday afternoon. We then stopped in Roots, Dollarama, and Olive Branch. There were certainly a variety of different vendors, and it was fun to learn there was now a pickleball place in the Promenade. The Promenade has a Guest Services team that staff the counter located at the Bathurst Street Main Entrance. The mall also offers free Wi-Fi, complimentary wheel chairs, access to SmarteCarte Self-Serve strollers, and family parking options at each of their main entrances with parking options for expectant mothers and parents with young children. The hours at the mall are Monday through Friday from 10 AM to 8 PM and Saturday through Sunday from 10 AM to 6 PM. There are holiday hours published for Black Friday, Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, Boxing Day, New Year's Eve, and New Year's Day. The Promenade also has special events like free treats on Halloween (this Friday), the Haunted Carnevil from Halloween for three days, and an Autism fundraising night at the St. Louis Bar & Grill throughout half of October and November.

The mall is not as busy and as large as Square One (even during busy weekends and holidays)…read more Parking is pretty large and easy to find. The mall is accessible by public transit, too. The layout reminds me a bit like Sherway Gardens, expect the walkways-concourse ("hallway") don't loop around to the center. It is pretty easy to get around and find a particular store. Some stores (like Miniso, Sunrise Records, Garage, maybe the Walmart) at Erin Mills are larger compared the same ones at Square One. Also, stores and restaurants not attached to the main building are easy to get to (ex. Indigo, One Plant, IHOP, Dollarama, Pizza Pizza, etc).

I wanted to see if the "Structube" at this location had better inventory, and shop at Dollarama, Canadian Tire, and HomeSense. The aisles are very wide, so plenty of room for social distancing! There is also a food court, but we arrived early, and it wasn't open. Each time I drove by, the parking lot looked like a zoo, but since we arrived right at 10 am, there were plenty of parking spots! There is also a Tim Horton's and Service Canada. Cute little plaza if you're in the area.

It's weird and I can't say that I like it. It is very hard to find specific stores if you are not already familiar with the layout. I felt like I needed to do some reconnaissance prior to going to the mall. The mall has a Nations Experience (aka Nations Fresh Foods) there which is fairly large with an arcade and huge kids play area complete with ball pit and huge slides. It's a big international grocery store with a pretty awesome food court. The mall also has a Winners, Homesense, Bouclair, Pier 1, Michaels, Linen Chest, Dollarama, Ardene, Tip Top, Banana Republic Factory Store, Old Navy, The Shoe Company, and a few other stores. They have quite a few dining options too like for fast food they have Five Guys, Thai Express, Chipotle, Freshii, and a few more, and for sit-down restaurants they have Sunset Grill and a Shoeless Joe's, and maybe a couple more places. They do have a Chatime if you're craving a bubble tea. I could see this layout being a huge pain in the winter or when it's raining.

The Atrium on Bay has grown on me over the years. It wasn't all that exciting to younger me. The…read moreAtrium, as it seems to be known these days, has retail stores and an office building. Back then, I didn't bother shopping here because you had Eaton Centre across the street. The office building part wasn't even on my radar. It took being an undergraduate and spending a lot of time in the area for me to warm up to this place. I spent a lot of time at The World's Biggest Bookstore and all music stores on Yonge Street, along with some time at the arcade. They are all gone. Back then, the Atrium on Bay had an Olive Garden. So many breadsticks, and spaghetti with meatballs were consumed. Yep, that folded years after I had left living in the GTA. When I returned to reside in Markham for my second and current stint, I often had dinner at The Pickel Barrel with friends. I loved it. It's gone as well. See a pattern? Then, there was Spring Roll. Although my go-to location was across from where I worked at Yonge and Eglinton, there was one here. All Spring Roll locations have folded. It's sad that all these places that I enjoyed visiting and eating at are gone. However, I was pleased to return after a decade to the Atrium on Bay and I like what I saw. Red Lobster is there. I wanted to get some biscuits, but I had just had dinner. It smelled so good as I continued my walk. The food court is still there, but it's cheerful and vast. It wasn't busy at dinner time, but you can get your Popeyes chicken fix or hit My Sushi for your Japanese food cravings. I walked by Rexall, CIBC, and Kin Kin Bakery (seriously tough not buying stuff before going to a concert), before I got to the flagship Muji store. If you are a fan of Muji, you must visit this store to enjoy two floors of minimalistic, nondescript, functional, practical items. There are a number of vacant stores. It's not expected during this pandemic. I hope that more stores open up. There are a number of smaller businesses that I'd love to spend more time checking out. Photo Imaging Plus intrigued me. I wasn't expecting an assortment of Squishmallows there. I'll definitely be back to check them out as a fan. I hope to go back to check out the stores more thoroughly when I'm not cutting through it before attending a concert. I'd love to eat at Red Lobster. Markham lacks one, so why not come down here and toss my money at Muji? I'm glad that I dropped by to check out the Atrium these days while reminiscing about the past. (191)

Tip: The phone accessories section is excellent…read more On my final day in Winnipeg, my car charger that had both USB A and C ports died on me. This car charger that plugs into any car's cigarette lighter had served me well. Devices charge faster using a car charger than simply plugging it into an available USB A or C port in the vehicle. I was at Heartland Centre the following day and noticed this Dollarama. I wondered if it had a replacement car charger for me. This store is in a plaza across from a trifecta building with Starbucks, Copper Branch, and Edo Japan. Best Buy and Jysk anchor this section of Heartland. I had no problem finding a parking spot. I pulled into an available one and walked into the store. Kitchen utensils greeted me. It was so deadly. I wanted everything from a garlic press to training chopsticks. I already know how to use chopsticks, but the training ones were so cute and functional! It took little time for me to find the phone accessories aisle. This store had two car chargers. One had two USB A ports. The other one had one USB A port and one USB C port. Perfect! I liked an avocado cover for your laptop's camera. I didn't need one. If I did, this one would have been mine. I also found Lysol toilet bowl cleaner with hydrogen peroxide. I had never tried it before, so I picked up a bottle. This store didn't have any human cashiers. I had to use one of the self-checkout kiosks. The one that I used worked well. I scanned my two items and then paid with a credit card. Done! My car charger works nicely. I'm so glad that I got a replacement one here. The Lysol toilet bowl cleaner with hydrogen peroxide worked nicely. I was impressed! I had a terrific experience here. I'd return again when I'm in the area. (303)
