Grandview Corners Shopping Centre.

A new shopping centre opened up in South Surrey and had it’s grand opening celebration today under the gorgeous sun. People came out in droves to look around, take advantage of grand opening specials, and win prizes with the grand prize being a black Honda Fit which was parked beside centre stage. Anchor tenants to this complex includes The Home Depot, Future Shop, The Brick, Indigo Bookstore, and Walmart.

These ‘Smart Centres’ as they are called are cropping up everywhere in the lower mainland. They feature a mall design concept similar to the Chelsea/Simon outlet store developments with single storey units spread out like a residential neighbourhood, each store with an entrance from street level. I’m not that fond of shopping, but I do like this concept!

I picked up two Douglas Fir tree seedlings from the new TD CanadaTrust branch and named them Neil and Chris. Of course, you say!
