Now? It's totally dead on weekends. Good job I guess?

Let that be a lesson to other prospective mall re-developers in the region.
The 'Open-air' mall concept simply doesn't work in this climate and locale.
There's only one Alberni and Robson streets respectively around these here parts, and you're not it.
The fact that it's this dead even in the summer with the weather as great as it is now, and when you'd expect people to want to be out and about says a lot about mall/retail culture and shopping habits here.
Down the road, you'll find the mall at Metrotown packed - with people going there to hang out and also if for no other reason, just to cool down in the mall A/C and get out from the hot weather.
Same case at Crystal Mall close by.
