I remember Chinook used to be so dark. Perhaps that was a common theme of designs from the 1980s, with the dark brick, but I recall both Chinook and Market Mall had these huge glass columns on the outside and yet you could barely see anything inside.

There was an Easy Street at the top of the escalators on the east side in the middle of Chinook, where I think the food court was, and it was as dark as Schanks is now.

Spoiler!

There used to be a bunch of blogs out there with great photos of label scars from Calgary shopping malls and strip malls, but they are all defunct links now.

There are a few solid YouTube channels focusing on dead malls, but I haven't seen any Calgary malls featured yet. The videos are a bit of a guilty pleasure.
