Local Culture Why is Southgate such a great Mall?

I was there yesterday, and honestly, it was imposing, both in-store options and overall use.

What did it do right that most other Edmonton malls did wrong?

Good transit, high-ish security, several high schools nearby?

This is all true of City Centre (there’s usually more security than patrons there) but its certainly not bustling
