The Mall ... on a Such a Nice Day?

Today, Jay had a noon appointment at ICBC in Burnaby to get a replacement ID. That organization is in charge of automobile licensing and car insurance and registration. They also provide cards used as provincial identification for those without drivers' licenses.  Jay's new one will be valid for five years.

 

 

The nearest ICBC is inside the Metropolis at Metrotown, the largest mall in the whole of British Columbia.  We drove there early just to give us a little time to walk around.  I wondered how much COVID-19 has changed the landscape of shops and stores.

It was quite busy for mid-day on a Wednesday.  I love the mall's underground parking as a well-designed labyrinth of spaces exists under the whole complex.  We parked right near the ICBC and Jay got in line a bit early and had had his photo and exited before his appointment time.  This was near the mall's food court and we took a look.  We found no fast food exciting enough to actually commit to eating even though it was exactly noon.

The drive back took about 15 minutes.  Wow.  Another day that's so nice!
