On a more positive note ... Table Top Board Games is also back.

I walked through there today and I was glad to see a decent amount of cru's filled. If only they could get a few retailers into the former Sportchek space.

So as I passed by on the LRT there was a load of drywall being loaded in to one of the spaces at the mall. I wonder if there is something new going in to that space?

ECC needs to pay attention to this development in Winnipeg
It's hard to miss the giant hole in what used to be the atrium of Portage Place mall. Work is underway to transform the space into a residence and medical centre. For decades, the mall acted as a wall between two sides of Winnipeg's downtown, and the new design has some feeling optimistic about the future of the city's core.

This is the best thing to happen inside city centre mall in a while. I went to the preview yesterday and I loved it. What a great way to bring people downtown.

Yes it is an interesting development and I have looked at it some. Although it is downtown, it is not quite the same as our City Centre mall which has more integration with several office towers and another important difference is Winnipeg as well as being provincial capital is the only major city in the province. Their current provincial government is quite invested in the city in a way Alberta's provincial government seldom has been.

A night at the movies inside downtown's failing mall
It's Halloween, and five 7pm-ish screenings at Landmark Cinemas inside Edmonton City Centre have mostly sold a quantity of tickets that can be counted on two hands. The only proper horror movie on this day of days for horror movies is Shelby Oaks, and it has just one paying viewer: Me.

To be fair, I think this past weekend was the worst box office Halloween weekend across North America in something like 31 years: https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/m...ice-tops-worst-halloween-31-years-1236416168/
Having said that, this quote is concerning:

There are salvageable parts of this mall that could be retained with a major rethink of how it fits into the downtown scene -- there will be a better financial impetus for this once the VLW is complete and functioning. Planning for that eventuality, however, should begin now.

I think everyone in Edmonton was on Whyte Ave for Halloween, maybe because it fell on a weekend this year. Whyte Ave was gridlock for blocks when I was there.A night at the movies inside downtown's failing mall
