At the mall

My sis and I took the bus to the mall today – something I haven’t done since high school – and it turns out her local mall, the Coquitlam Centre is the mall where Juno spies Vanessa playing with a friend’s daughter in the mall play ground in the movie Juno!


Here's the view of the apple where Vanessa plays with the little girl from a higher vantage point then in the movie, with the People's Jewellers in the background:


Other than that, there’s really not much to recommend it. It’s a small shopping centre that apparently includes Aritzia, the Gap and H&M among its tenants but they must have been in a section of the mall that we did not visit because I didn’t see any of these stores.

Instead, my sis and I spent time at the Sears and London Drugs buying things like pillows, towels and hair colour and having lunch at the East Side Mario’s. So exciting was this day that Little Miss Fire Piglet slept through most of it – except to get up for her feeding and changing at the restaurant, she’s stuck to her angelic routine of sleeping through all of our shopping trips out to date. We head back out to Vancouver tomorrow so we’ll see if our luck holds…
