says that many shoppers assume
the mall is too far and too incon-

needs. Not so, she assures.

“H's very easy to get here,’’
Warwick says, pointing out the

Shore’s major traffic routes —
Lynn Valley Road and Mountain
Highway. ‘‘People sometimes have
the idea we're hard to get to.
We're not.”

And once the shopper arrives at
the mall, parking is a breeze. With

over 900 parking spaces, shoppers
can be virtually assured of finding
a slot.

One of the mall’s strong points
is the commitment to friendly ser-
vice, a definite plus in today’s
world of rapidly diminishing cus-
tomer satisfaction.

Many of the mali’s merchants
have been in the valley for years,
giving their best to the community
around them. One such merchant
is the Family Gourmet Deli.
“They’ve been here for years and
they’re a bit of a Lynn Valley
tradition,’* explains Warwick.

For the fashion-conscious
woman on the Christmas fist, a gift
from Feminella Fashions can add
dazzle to any woman's wardrobe.
And if upbeat shirts are her thing,
the mall’s Dog's Ear T-Shirt
Boutique has a number of suitable
items.

From the Dog’s Ear, hand-
painted fleece-lined sweat shirts are
available in a variety of designs for
$34.95. They are ideal for lounging
or relaxing.

Cloud 9 Ladies Apparel has a
large selection of fall dresses that
make perfect gifts. Ai substantial
savings, they are just right for the
Christmas holidays.

For cooks.who like to make
their own Christmas dishes,
Cathy's Pot-pourri stocks a host of
kitchen-related items. Cathy’s
Pot-pourri is likely to have some-
thing for even the cook who has
everything.

‘‘And it’s a good all round gift
store,’’ Warwick says. ‘Especially
if you’ve got a lady you’re giving
gifts to.”

As well, there is Creative
Kidstuff Toys. Unique to the
North Shore, Creative Kidstuff has
everything for the kid on the
Christmas fist. ‘‘They have
everything from stocking stuffers
to whatever your child would
dream of.’”

Hungry shoppers can check in to
the mall’s food fair. Offering four
‘quick’ vendors, rushed shoppers
can quickly grab a bite to cat.
Three full-service restaurants are
available for those who prefer a
more leisurely meal.

This year’s Christmas theme at
Lynn Valley Centre is Ice Dreams.
As such, the decorations and
Christmas entertainment — reflect
this as much as possible.

On Nov. 16, the ice show Ice
Dreams Fantasy will kick off for
the day at 12:30 p.m., with added
shows at 2 p.m. and 3:30 p.m.
