The Cars of West Edmonton Mall

They really shouldn't let this be visible in a mall. It's almost indecent exposure. I needed to sit down for a while.

As one of the largest malls in the world — and one of the only ones with a Pirate Ship in the middle, and sea lion shows, and penguin shows, and meerkats — West Edmonton Mall can be a fun place to visit. Around this time of year, however, it works very hard at creating an “upscale” feel, to counteract the millions of “HUGE SALE” signs that every retailer thinks is a good idea to hang in their window.

Wait a minute... that's not a car...

Sometimes it works, sometimes not so much. But there’s usually some pretty awesome eye-candy to be seen in and around the mall — both of the automotive variety and otherwise. Since I can’t take photos of the “otherwise”, here are some photos of random vehicular sightings in and around the mall while doing our Christmas shopping.
Also, some random not-so-vehicular sightings. I, for one, was completely unaware that there were Ferrari running shoes… and I think I preferred being unaware of that fact. What’s that? Your friends just don’t think you’re enough of a poser? Then buy these shoes! Then everyone will point and scorn!
The sad part? They’re really nice shoes, and I kinda like them. Sigh. I’m so ashamed.

  1. Sonofabitch, WordPress ate my gallery! Why didn't anyone tell me? Honestly!
    Should be fixed now. Sorry kids.

  2. When you do, look inside the label. My last pair of Puma walking-around-type shoes has a label in the tongue that says something like:
    Nicht feuerfeste ausgestattet
    Not flameproof equipped!
    That's how I know they're not driving shoes.

  3. You guys forgot to mention the coolest car at the West Edmonton Mall…..
    It's the Truck "specialty" room at the Hotel there, here's a link:

    You get to sleep in the bed of an old Chevy pick up truck, and the whole room is automotive themed!! I've wanted to stay in that room as soon as I heard about it…. pity it's so far from Detroit.
    p.s. note the mirror above the truck bed too!

  4. Wasn't Sherwood Park, since I've only ever been there once, and it was boring so I probably won't go back. I'm actually not sure where it was, I think it was a few blocks away at a Superstore, but I can't for the life of me remember which one that was. The bloody things are everywhere around here. There are two within three or four blocks of my house.
