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)

There's no longer the desire to browse since those days are long gone. And it's a shame. What seems to be the "in" thing are sprawling plazas that cater to those with cars because it's a long walk between stores. I blame millennials for this.

I have a soft spot for old-timey junk heaps like this place…read more I grew up going to them and although they are dirty and weird and full of crap, there's a charm to them that I wouldn't want to see go away. I think. This place is no different, you get all kinds of baked good, smoked meats, antiques, cell phone cases, e-Cigs, Funko Pops, dvd's, knock-off sunglasses, Chip Truck Fries, you name it. It has it all. I get the appeal and I get that some people would hate this place. I'm somewhere in the middle. If you like these kinds of places, I think you owe it to yourself to check it out. The should just rename the place "BUYER BEWARE" however when it comes to the food, the quality of the items here, and even the tolerance by the vendors, you never know what you're gonna get. The last thing I saw before I left was a shop aimed at bikers/Hell's Angels types that was proudly displaying, at the CASH REGISTER, a shirt that said "Welcome To Canada! Fit In Or Fuck Off!" which, offense aside, kind of sums up this place. Bikers are traditionally founded on the very idea of non-conformity and anarchy, of bucking trends and social norms, so a shirt like this just kind of screams inauthenticity and it speaks volumes in so many ways of the kind of foot traffic these places gets. Or maybe it doesn't. I don't know. This place is weird. Check it out. Or don't.
