Tuesday's Travels 36

A toughie last week. Some of you knew sort of, one got as close as saying Canada, several said it looked like a mall, but nobody said it was the West Edmonton Mall in Edmonton, Canada. The biggest mall in the world containing ice rink, swimming pool, pirate ship and of course plenty of shops. As mall and Canada were the closest guesses, I am going to make an executive decision and award the point to... Myself! Yes, as nobody got the answer right, I am awarding myself the point.
My story? I had seen this mall pop up in a Christmas film with Patrick Swayze. In fact it was the last film he ever made. However, it was the mall that was the star in the film (Christmas in Wonderland if you're interested) and when I made my way over to Canada for the interviews, I wanted to visit that mall. I knew it was big though, so I made extra sure I knew where my car was parked. Unfortunately when I was there, it was in Halloween mode, so nothing Christmassy could be found.

On to this week's challenge. Where is this? Have you ever been? Tell us your story. Answer next week (if my sister Gera reminds me in time again...).

  1. We have no clue where but that lady sure is doing a great impression of the Queen of England.

  2. Yes definitely Covent Garden. I use to go there in the early 1990's for something to eat, after sightseeing when I lived on the outskirts of London.

    That Queenie-sub is, I think, a lady often seen on our media, for she is a proper doppleganger. So this is definitely London somewhere... I'll trust Gera's guess, for I actually have no idea myself. (Makes a change, eh?!) YAM xx

  4. This has to be Covent Garden on the side closest to the Opera House. Reading about last week's photo I had to laugh as I have been to that mall. My friend lives in Edmonton and the last time I visited I insisted we go there. She wasn't so keen but I desperately wanted to see it.

  5. We went by it once and even gassed up just outside. I was not sorry not to go in. 😀

  7. You have visited so many fascinating places. Never visited this location but a pretend Queen is in attendance.
