I went to a famous "Canadian" clothing company (rhymes with Boots) website to buy a sweater for my…read moremother. Literally the most frustrating shopping experience. 3 different size measurements for every item. Why? She is an elderly woman. Its a woman's sweater. I just need one size. Then they didn't have any availability for what I wanted or the ability to find similar items possibly in stock. I went to Reddit. Looked for alternatives. Saw MBW. Went to the website. Found a blue hoodie. Showed my mom. Bought it. It will arrive next week. I spent more money on that sweater than what the other store was charging but I was happy to do it. MBW deserved the sale. It was easy. I had a great time looking at colors with my mom. And it obviously bothered me enough to leave this review. So great job MBW. Looking forward to getting the sweater next week. --Just a Canadian trying to buy a sweater for his mom.

3.5 stars. There are…read moretwo schools of shopping in Muskoka: sophisticated home décor and local art, and sweats. Seriously, sweat shops (the aboveboard, legal kind) are *everywhere* in the Lakes Region, all selling hoodies, pants, hats, and tees emblazoned with "Muskoka". Competition is fierce. I fall into the home décor/local art school of shoppers, but of all the places you could pick up your unmistakably "Muskoka" gear, MBW has to be the best. And not because the clothes are higher-quality (they do boast soft lining and a perfect weight), but because all the clothes are Ontario-made -- the only sweats you can find that are made in Canada. And not just made in Canada, but made right in Muskoka. MBW's philosophy is: if it *says* "Muskoka", shouldn't it at least be made here? I like that business model. Truthfully, tho MBW clothes aren't necessarily my style (sweatpants with bear paw prints on the booty remind me of high school cheerleaders), but I like the idea of supporting my home-away-from-home's local economy. Maybe the cat-sitter would like a pair of bear paw print booty sweats as a thank-you...

It's probably closer to two months since I first dropped by Georgian Mall. I was in the parking lot…read morefor the Barrie Ribfest -- the drive-thru edition. It was held in front of the old Sears store, which is currently Spirit Halloween. That's my first impression of this mall. Stores close, but this mall and the folks behind it find creative ways to lure shoppers and eaters to come here. While heading over to the ribfest, I noticed an L.L. Bean sign. As a fan of casual, comfy clothing, I knew that I had to return and check it out. The mall's layout is interesting. I parked by the entrance closest to L.L. Bean and Moxie's, which was the second floor. This mall has two floors, but the top floor is more like a third of space than what you get on the first floor. If someone forced you to choose a single floor to shop, you would want the first floor because you've got more variety and the food court is there. I would be torn if this restriction was there, for Coles and Showcase are on the second floor and I love them. The main anchor stores are Hudson's Bay, SportChek, and Homesense. The former is massive and decent. I checked out the food court because, hey, I like food and my feet automatically moved me here. You get your usual chains, such as A&W, Subway, and Teriyaki Experience. The ones that I didn't recognize were Good Karma (Indian fare that looked so good) and Wikki Hut (Asian-South American mix of food that looked yummy). There is a blocked-off area to dine, with two staff members checking for your proof of vaccination and ID at the entrance. I spent most of my time in L.L. Bean and Hot Topic. I enjoyed looking at cool merchandise in both and ultimately making a purchase in the latter. I ended up getting snacks at Mr Pretzels and Kernels Popcorn. They are away from the food court, but the aroma from the latter lured me over here. I love that they are practically next to each other. I am a fan of both places and would definitely return to this mall just for these two businesses. The mall is clean and nicely kept. The women's washroom was bright and in great shape, which also included a separate nursery section. I saw a dental clinic. I didn't see any other health services, so you're not coming here for a doctor's appointment. However, you can get your prescription at Shoppers Drug Mart. The only downside during this pandemic is that there aren't places to sit down to take a breather, other than the blocked-off food court. I wanted to eat my pretzel and pretzel dogs somewhere. I ended up sitting in front of the fireplace where you technically aren't supposed to sit down, but I did anyway. It's a decent mall that has practically everything you need and a lot more. There was lots of parking available. I like it here it and would come back to shop some more. (405)
