This is honestly one of the strangest malls I've ever been to…read more It's really quite small -- which isn't always a determining factor in how good or bad a mall is -- but the vibe here really weirded me out. It's mostly full of seniors, so it is quiet, but there are so little people here it made me kind of depressed. The people here who aren't seniors are parents shopping at the Save On attached to the mall, younger people having lunch at their oh so strange food court, or people just passing through (like myself). I was a little hungry when I came across this little place, but the only options were an orange Julius (meh), a Chinese place (East West Cafe) which looked less than appetizing. And finally an Indian place that might as well not have been there they had so little food. There's also another space in the food court sitting empty, and whatever was there appears to have moved out (I don't blame them). There is also the entrance to a medical clinic smack dab in the middle of the food court, which just seems odd. As for the stores themselves, there's honestly nothing here I'd think about going into. They have a Bootlegger, and while they do have nice clothes, it's just too pricey for what it is. This mall is just so odd and bleak; I don't know what to think about it. I'm not likely to return.

Cheers to CC for all the kid's stores...clothes, baby, books and toys! Plus the library! I love the recent upgrades. But also the special events like the flower exhibits, pottery and so many more throughout the year. I'm happy this mall is at least full of shops and not half empty!

While I want to cut the marina operators some slack because businesses are having trouble finding…read moreemployees I just don't believe we received good value for the money at Nanaimo Harbour. Our moorage bill for a night is nearly $100. -Not once have we been able to connect to wifi. -With plenty of open space on docks close in to the office and services they stuck us on P dock. Never accept moorage on P or Q dock they are the fartherest from everything!! -Electricity didn't work at first, they had to come and fix that. -In comparison to other marinas we've seen lately (Port Sidney and Van Isle) Nanaimo looks well worn and is certainly over-priced. Save money, drop the hook at Newcastle and dinghy over if you need to come to town.

On a recent trip to Victoria from Seattle, we decided to take the long way home and drive from…read moreVictoria to Nanaimo, ride the ferry to Vancouver, and spend the day there before returning home. I recommend taking Highway 1A and driving through the little towns of Chemainus (stop here if you have time, otherwise admire the many murals from your car), Saltair, and Ladysmith. 1A will take you to the Duke Point Ferry Terminal, or you can spend some time in Nanaimo and find the best Nanaimo bar (look up the Nanaimo Bar Trail and you'll find many suggestions for who sells them). Situated on a windy finger of land that shares Jack Point and Biggs Park, the ferry terminal itself is well organized and about 20+ lanes across. Buy your tickets online to save time and make sure you get to there an hour before departure. At the window, you can pay your fare or the agent will scan the prepaid barcode In your email. You are then assigned a lane. You can wait in your car or get out and walk around, grab a snack, use the restroom, take in the view, or pose with two orca statues flanking the walkway to the terminal. On the day we were there, two tents were set up with local arts and crafts. A large digital sign gave sailing information and PSAs about COVID safety. When it was time for everyone to board, an announcement was made asking us to return to our vehicles. About 10 or 15 minutes later, attendants guided us to the awaiting ferry. Everything was orderly and well organized, and I can't wait to come back.

The mall doesn't seem to get much traffic. Me and my travel companion's conversation seemed to echo off the walls as we walked through the halls. It's also kinda dead -- there doesn't seem to be very many lively individuals around. Another thing to mention -- the Urban Planet in this mall is SUPER weird. It has big empty spaces with nothing there, lots of empty boxes and packaging strewn about, and everything -- and I mean EVERYTHING -- was on sale. (Is the chain closing or something? I've heard otherwise, but it seems like they are.) It's a decent mall, but it's just devoid of life. I've gotta stop venturing into obscure malls, it makes me feel weird :/
