A green glass oasis glittering on the hem of the Pacific sheltered by the broad shoulders of the Coast Mountains, the City of Glass wins legions of admirers for its stunning geography, mild climate, and resulting bounty of outdoor opportunities. Vancouver might be lacking in big-city bustle, but it's no slouch when it comes to picking up the pace. In summer, pine-scented mountain air and ocean breezes cool fit, active Vancouverites as they cast off their Gore-Tex and pelt along Stanley Park's trails, Rollerblade the Sea Wall, trek North Shore canyons, heli-hike nearby mountains and skimboard Jericho Beach. When the sun is out, it's a city always on the go. Founded as the sawmill settlement of Granville in the 1870s, archeological evidence traces the area's appeal back to at least 500 B.C., when coastal Indians made their home by the waters of the Georgia Strait.

Stores galore
There's nothing in the history books documenting that Benjamin Franklin had anything to do with the development of enclosed shopping malls. Yet the Franklin Mills Mall -- the carefully designed retail behemoth off Interstate 95 on the northeast outskirts of Philadelphia -- offers an inspired shopping experience that bears the name of Philly's quintessential Renaissance man. There are no upper levels or ambiguous sections that define this singular mall. Rather, consumers stroll one ever-expanding concourse that's broken into four "neighborhoods" -- each color-specific (red, blue, green, yellow), as are its six entrances (which also bear Franklin symbols such as a quill/inwkell, lightning bolt, reading spectacles, etc.). This makes both navigating the interior and that dreaded "where did I park?" moment so much easier.
Creditor takes control
The creditor of Midtown at Forest Acres gained control of the struggling mall Monday following its owner's inability to pay back more than $39 million in loans. The 33-acre property formerly known as Richland Mall was auctioned as a result of foreclosure. Richland Joint Venture Group expects to have a deed for the property within 20 days, said John Moore of Nelson Mullins law firm, a lawyer for the company. Moore said the Sarasota, Fla.-based company has no immediate plans for the mall, such as a sale or redevelopment. It expects to make a decision in the coming months, he said. Purchased in 2005 by Midtown Development Group, the mall has lost major tenants this year, such as Express and Parisian department store. The once-thriving shopping center now is down to about 26 retail shops and eateries.
