    For what it's worth, Hillcrest is still a pretty darn good mall. When I think of the decay of Centerpoint (which may well close soon) and the overblown renovation and gentrification of Yorkdale, this is still a pretty functional venue, seems to have pretty much everything that a body might need on an average day, at least as malls go nowadays

      I live right behind CenterPoint mall. Would be sad to see it close...

      The Cineplex show there used to stink out the mall with ozone gas from the xeon bulbs in the projection booth. They were never vented to the outside.

    Love a Canadian mall. Roots is seriously one of my most favourite stores in Canada maybe behind Bath and Bodyworks. Moving to Toronto in a few weeks from Europe so getting very excited seeing all this

    • @parkerbohnn
      @parkerbohnn 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Unfortunately all the stuff in Roots isn't made in Canada anymore. At one time the merchandise was of high quality. If you've moving to Toronto don't buy a house the housing market is just in the early stages of a implosion in prices as Jerome Powell is jacking up rates but it has yet to break the U.S. housing market. The longer Powell raises rates without the U.S. housing market falling the harder the crash will be in our housing market in Canada specially in the 4 Chinese cities Markham, Richmond Hill, Unionville and Stouffville. Fringe cities like Gravenhurst are looking at 50 percent pullbacks in prices. Rents are still tight so it will take about two years for rents to fall.

      I was there last week. Still plenty of white people in the mall. My sister dropped about $12,000 that day mostly at Sportchek.

    Hi from the UK, I have friends in Richmond Hill living on Palmer Avenue just off Yonge Street a bit further up from Hillcrest, I've been here many times and been in this mall many times. Love the place, hopefully going to be there this summer fingers crossed. Keep up the videos they are a great watch 👍

    I was there around the time this video aired. My sister still spends about $2,000 a day shopping 365 days a year. I spend about 20 dollars a day.

    I wouldn't recognize anything anymore. Grew up in Thornhill and haven't been back for around 15 years. Hillcrest mall and the surrounding area is totally different from how I remember it!!!!

    From 1990 to 1997 my parents bought and operated the Baskin Robbins that used to be at the food court. I had to work there every sun. Was some good times, there used to be sun regulars at the food court some of them were weird lol.

    Way more peaceful and far less crowded than Vaughan Mills. Obviously not as big. But I prefer it.

    Hi Johnny!! Great videos you have here on the channel... Just checked out a couple of them and I am gonna cycle through the rest of them soon too!
    Quick question : Do u use ND filters on the Cosmo pocket 2 while shooting in the day? I just bought one so would be glad to know how you use it.
    Keep up the great work! 🙌🏻❤

    I stayed in RH for a month one summer back in the day. I don't think there was a major mall at the time. It was horse country. In fact I was there helping my friend who owned a horse stable complete with riding lessons and rental horse stalls. .

      The pathways to walk in Hillcrest are wide which is a rarity in most malls in Ontario.

    I've heard that the mall concept is declining in popularity in the US and many have closed, but I think malls will always have a place in Canada due to our terrible weather. I wish more had grocery stores attached though, like malls in Japan do.

    • @parkerbohnn
      @parkerbohnn 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      In the malls at least in Ontario its Walmart in the malls no other grocery stores.
