Stopped by to grab some shots of the atrium lighting last Saturday afternoon and ended up staying way longer than planned. The skylight over the central court gives such nice natural light for candid shots, especially around 3pm when it hits the escalators just right. Parking in the underground lot was easy to find even on a busy weekend, and one of the staff at the info desk actually pointed me toward a quieter corner with better angles. Good mix of shops, decent food options, and just an easy place to wander around with a camera for a few hours.

THE HUDSONS'S BAY COMPANY- I love going to Coquitlam Centre because it' s only 2 minutes down the hill from where i live...I was shopping for a gift for someone I know, and although I was originally on the hunt for something else, I ended up buying this subtle pale greenish grey Calvin Klein threesome...a larger laptop bag, a medium clutch and a small phone purse, all in the same lovely textured finish. Done...! The Bay had a nice selection of items to choose from and the retail staff were helpful and friendly...Winners did have a somewhat more colourful selection of items...Then, I bought a sort of mirror finish gift box from Winners, some balloon motif wrapping paper… read full review
Stopped by the food court on a random Tuesday afternoon and it was way less packed than I expected, which was nice for a change. The staff at the customer service desk actually helped me find a specific store instead of just pointing vaguely down the hall, which I always appreciate. Parking in the underground lot was easy to find close to the entrance too, saved me from lugging bags too far. Been coming here for years and it still feels clean, well kept, and easy to get around.
