Edmonds Town Centre

Some consider it to be the most lacklustre out of all of Burnaby’s Town Centres. One www.order-westernunion.com of the most common reasons I hear cited for not it feeling like a Town Centre is because “it doesn’t have a mall.” And following this comment, comes the criticism of the other Town Centres: “there’s nothing special about them – they’re all just a bunch of regional malls!”

Well, there are good explanations for each of these observations. But you’ll have to read about it in startling historical detail! And, please feel free to pass it on.
