They'll probably have a Spadina Extension eventually.
Yea but then it'll be York region complaining if they run a shuttle from VCC to the mall for $.

Who would pay $30 for a T-shirt? I'm not being sold here.
Same stores?????????? Vaughan has a Tommy Hilfiger Outlet store which is the biggest in the World. Bass Outlet store for sporting equipment is huge, Children's Place they also have a large Winners and a great Golf shop which sells loads of quality T-shirts at a large discount. To give you an example I bought a Calloway T-shirt reduced from 60 dollars to 30 dollars, about £15 sterling. I couldn't buy it here for 60 pounds sterling. Believe me I know I live very near St. Andrews in Fife the home of Scottish golf. There are loads of many other shops that are not in the Eaton Centre.
Perhaps ... but it looks like it is in the middle of nowhere. I really find it hard to believe that (outside of the sports fishing world maybe) that I can't find the same products at the same or cheaper price in Toronto, rather than off yonder somewhere.It's your choice not to travel to Vaughan Mills, just as it's your choice not to spend $30 on a T-shirt. But other people--good, honest, hardworking people--happen to like the place.
Being British I'm fully aware. I'm also fully aware that the price differences are nowhere near what they used to be, now that the pound has fallen so much.You don't realise how cheap Canada is to shop compared with Britain.
The Google Airphoto does show a farmer's field to the west, across the highway, and streetview shows lots of vacant land around the mall. It was certainly all farmer's fields recently.......but I can assure you it is not exactly a lonely mall sitting in the middle of a farmers field!

I'm sure it's a fine place if you out that ways. But I can't imagine it being a destination for those who are in the city proper.
And structure wise, it looks quite dull compared to other recent suburban malls such as the Don Mills Centre at Don Mills/Lawrence.

At the same time, other stuff is cheaper there. Air fare for example. You can fly across Europe for a pittance. I was looking at prices recently to fly just to Vancouver to visit family, off-peak, in November (I was looking in September), and I've flown to the UK for less money. There was nothing under $500. At the moment there is nothing under $700. And I thought about going after Christmas instead, before the Olympics mess things up ... but it's even worse.
Good news, my friend. Those empty fields have been replaced with the ugliest, most generic, industrial looking plazas imaginable.
JAMIE, if you want real cheap shopping, head to the US. Shop prices are cheaper, but that doesn't matter... You can get anything you want at foreclosure estate sales for pennies!
I guess we are OT ... but I guess it's cheaper to fly from Scotland to Vancouver, than fly from Toronto. The cheap method here is to drive to Buffalo, and fly to Seattle. But given you've normally got to change once or twice on a Buffalo to Seattle flight, and it's not legal for Canadians to drive a US-plated rental car across the border into Canada ... personally I'm waiting for the relatives to come visit me ...Too true the pound is not as good as it used to be. Vancouver I have been there a few times and I could have got a flight in October from Glasgow or Edinburgh I can't remember which for £149 each way. You can still get that price for the end of November and return in December. I always book with Canadian Affair and always pay £129 each way for Toronto from Glasgow so an extra £20 for Vancouver is well worth it. They are discounting flights just now rather than after the New Year as the VAT goes up and Airport Passenger Duty will kick in as well. You have got to look at the site regularly and keep an eye on the prices.
Why would someone would catch that shuttle from downtown when they could just visit the exact same stores in the Eaton Centre??
Well said, nowhere is somewhere that nobody has moved to yet!!!!! Anyway I take it that nobody knows the Vaughan Mills shuttle start date for next year.^ middle of no where is a bit of a relative term.
not sure where you live/work/hang out......but I presume it is far from VM......but I can assure you it is not exactly a lonely mall sitting in the middle of a farmers field!
