Friday Night at TLS !!! ( it's a party!!)
I too was down at TLS on Friday night for the Iron Man movie. Wow!! the place was rammed packed, I have never seen TLS so packed and busy since it opened. Wall to wall people, crowded escalators and walkways, the Adidas store was hoppin' and that pedistrian bridge crossing thing into the store was also being used for people going from the store to purchase movie tickets.
Upstairs there was a bit of a scene outside the new "Jack Astors Bar" and restaurant as the kiddie staff hung out in the front making jokes and smiling. - When I got into the AMC lobby again, the place was packed and buzzing. And people were offering me free Popcorn and drinks cause I had a stub to the movie. I didn't even know that that thing was still going, but I guess they did it agian to bring some more people into the theatre.
Anyways... there were shows every half hour and yet there were still huge line ups to get into the theatre.
When I was going up I noticed that the "Bubble Tease" & "Harvey's" in the foodcourt look ready to go. Although the place is still roped off and the security guys are hanging out there to keep people from remaining on that level. Also there was what looked to be a icecream joint on the lowest level and a "Subway" take out stand as well. - Of course inside the mall - the LED/Plasma flat screens are everywhere, including the superbright one at the front entrance. All the lights, & electronic advertising are really making that place buzz. - I was thinking to myself oh boy, the Atrium across the street just installed their own LED/Plasma flat screen advertising boards, and the Eaton Centre already has them in the most recent addition, how much longer before we see this type of advertising in all of the Toronto area malls. Again, I just found it interesting. -
Overall and in my opinion I think TLS has a lot of potential to be a really super spot for the younger kids and teenagers, - It was designed with all of its high-tech electronics to appeal to them and if that was the point... they nailed it. Once the restaurants on the upper levels are completed I'm sure that adults might find some interest in this mall as well. But for now, I think the older set will be content to use the Atrium across the street. This place seems targeted to teenage sensibilities of course where the kids go I'm sure the adults will follow. Just look at your local McDonalds and notice 60% of the people there are seniors over 65 years old.
