Went to Yorkdale today. I came from 401 West. Originally I tried to enter the mall through the main entrance near The Bay. Then I did a U-turn and entered through the dufferin entrance near the Microsoft store. Then I circled around for about 20 minutes to find parking. I was driving a 15 passenger van so it is hard to move around and it was lunch time. But I go to Yorkdale at least twice a week upwards to 5 times for various reasons, shopping, movies, rogers store, clothing stitches, restaurants, etc. Although I am quite familiar with the mall it felt noticeably busier today (Sunday) and am having a hard time imagining what it will look like at Christmas. As for Dufferin, which I fully support the new condo development, it is going to be insanely busy especially on the weekends. The Holiday Inn condos will sell out instantly. The only problem here is this is the exact part of dufferin which has the most traffic. I just kept on thinking there needs to be some sort of ROW transit a decade from now. That being said I loved the extension (been there three times since it opened) but I still don't understand why people would line up for Canada Goose when there are a number of other places that sell the exact same thing if not the internet. But people still line up for iphones,so what do I know.
