On top of that, you're right in the heart of the area, so there's lots to see and do when you're walking around. All in all, it's a great experience.

The only downside is how busy traffic to and from the mall and freeway is. Friendly service in every store I visited. You can find everything from good values to high end merchandise.

The Centre was filled, seemingly, to capacity and radiated with energy the of young children and their families. The play, itself was well done. It kept my four and seven year old nieces engaged for two hours- a difficult task to accomplish. Based on the Peter Pan story, of Disney fame, this interpretation is seeded by contemporary and retro songs that had adults and kids bouncing in their seats. Accolades to the director, Chantal Forde and Tim Cadney, who played Captain Hook and Mr. Darling, are merited. The latter actor stole the show. Bravo!

Jessica Simpson was the opening act for the first half hour, then there was a 20 minute break, and then Teri and her band belted out the tunes for an hour and a half! Fabulous!! Meanwhile, I purchased the tickets on line which was easy, and they were scanned easily to get in. The staff was friendly and helpful. The seats were close and comfy in this intimate theatre, and it holds about 1000 people (looked like it was sold out). Although they sell beverages during the intermission, there's also a water dispenser in the wall (like at a hockey rink, to fill a bottle), and the facility provides plastic cups - and the water is tasty and free! To top it all off, they ask people to toss the cups in recycling. I would go back.

Yesterday, I dropped by Shoppers Drug Mart at Oakville Place to get a few essentials. Across from…read moreit was this Claire's store. After shopping around the mall for a bit, I checked this store out. I always know that stopping by any Claire's is deadly. It has Squishmallows, Pusheen, and Grogu items that suck me in. I finally found a Grogu bucket hat that is made for adults with huge skulls. It also has ears, which I love. I immediately got it over a Grogu headband that I would have probably snapped over time. The Squishmallows at this store are great. I ended up getting a smaller version of Danny the dinosaur. What's special about this plushie is that he sports the cutest bowtie. I loved the Pusheen items at this store. Luckily, I had willpower from everything from lip balm to pens. The earrings are cute here. You can get bubble tea, rubber duckies, s'mores, and more. Ear piercing services are available. I had the nicest woman cash me out. I liked that she didn't bug me or the other two shoppers in the store. She let us browse. I paid with a debit card. All was great. She gave me a coupon for $10 off my next purchase. Sweet and deadly! She placed my items in a paper bag. I appreciated the bag that was free. I also placed my Shoppers Drug Mart items in it. It's a great store. It's located near entrance 1, which is next to LL Bean. When I'm back in the area, I'll definitely return to shop here. (378)

I found Guitar Workshop Plus' owner Brian Murray to be *such* a bully and *so* unprofessional - it…read morewas a truly horrible experience to come in contact with someone behaving so dishonorably. Like other reviewers, I too feel like my hard-earned money was stolen from me. I had signed up for the Toronto workshop & then had to cancel due to a loved one's medical emergency. I had just signed up on a Friday night & sent electronic cancelation on a Sunday morning, receiving an email that he was out of the office for the weekend on both accounts. I had paid nearly $2900 USD. But when he came in on Monday, he told me he was still going to keep half my money! I was totally shocked! I mean, I understand that a business has third party fees to pay, but given that he received my application & cancelation at the very same time when he came into the office, there was no chance he could have processed the application & lost any money on it and so pocketing over $1500 for nothing seemed callous & awful. Additionally, his policy was VERY unclear - the only clear & obvious verbiage on the form about keeping 50% upon cancelation was concerning those who'd paid by check & I'd paid by Paypal! So I really take exception to his keeping my money! The form on his website did clearly state that the non-refundable portion of the total I paid was a $120 (Canadian dollars) registration fee so I was prepared to forfeit that for my emergency circumstance but was really shocked by the rest. The policy on his site required the unusual step of having to cancel in writing via snail mail - international mail in this case because I'm in the US & he's in Canada. He required that the cancellation be sent either by registered mail or courier. Since his deadline for cancelation was fast approaching & he was not accepting electronic cancelations, I had no choice but to pay FEDEX $85.64 to send my cancelation because the registered mail couldn't be guaranteed to arrive on time. If I didn't, he'd keep the whole thing! I was totally shocked by how bullying and beliigerent he was in his dealings with me - he was ruthless. He insisted he could just keep over $1500 of my money for absolutely nothing! He evaded answering the charges about the language in his policy, choosing to belittle me instead, going on verbal attack. I'm writing this review in the hopes that guitarists everywhere are forewarned to beware of financial dealings w/ this establishment. Brian really dug in on the insults so I encourage female guitarists especially not to let it get under your skin if, god forbid, this happens to you. He didn't seem to know how to resolve the matter maturely - instead just lashing out in personal attack. His insecure responses & gaslighting were completely inappropriate. Brian and I argued about what the words written in his policy actually say - I maintain that the clause 'if paying by check' is what's known in the English language as a conditional clause and thus pertains only to those who pay by check - but even if it *were* legal to pocket the money when I paid by Paypal, what's legal and what's ethical in such a circumstance are two very different things. Clearly this guy's principle motivation is not to care about musicians but just to make a buck. So I would like anyone considering this workshop to understand that GWP will take every penny from you regardless of circumstances & unless you are prepared to fight like I did, you could lose ALL of your money if you have to sign up and cancel. (It took me an entire month of hell to fight to get even half back - long 'him vs me' story about Paypal that I don't have time to write here). Suffice to say, I cannot recommend this establishment. Musicians are often strapped for cash so please, fellow guitarists, be aware before you sign up that you may never see the rightful amount of your money again if you have to cancel. I want every guitarist - from amateur to professional - to know of the treatment I received by GWP (which seems to be a 1-man operation!?) which is why I am writing this. It's a huge rarity for me to give a negative review, but I felt it would be remiss not to warn others of what could happen to them. I have no doubt that the teachers at this workshop are great - they are world class players, yes - but none of them rely on Guitar Workshop Plus for their sole living - they teach everywhere else, so go find them at other great workshops such as the Swannanoa Gathering where the people who take your money are kind and honest and would never ever treat their customers like this. BUYER BEWARE!
