Christmas tree

The Christmas trees at International Shopping Mall aka as Tinseltown are much better than a lot of other mall in the Lower Mainland.

Tinseltown Cinama

This is one part of the International Village shopping complex that was able to attract a sizable number of people. With the opening of Famous Players' Downtown Cinaplex this, however, had changed for the worst.

Centre of attraction

I was truly struck by the emptiness of this mall, International Village. It has three levels. I was standing on the second floor. This picture was taken close to 11:15 AM on a May Saturday. You can see all those shops without lights, most are vacant. This fella just happened to be there when I pressed the shutter. No idea who he is or where he was going but his presence emphasizes the mall's emptiness. For this I thank him.

A touch of wood

On the Tinseltown's second level is a continuous craved wooden panel. This is the northern end of the panel. It jumps right out at you amongst the concrete, glass and metal in a modern day shopping mall.
