skyhawk174 Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 Well that is great news. My sister in law lives just north of Victoria so I will be sure to drop in the next time we visit. Where is Hillside Mall? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Slo-pine Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 Fantastic! A little sad for the loss of the iconic location, but great news that it will live on. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
