The thing is though if we were to only talk about renovations and construction updates of this mall or other projects then probably half of the threads on this site would just stop. The addition or departure of retail stores or other entities in a shopping mall can have a potential significance impact on the progress or demise of a shopping mall. In the case of this mall I don't think there are any concrete plans for any renovations additions or demolitions as far as I can remember anytime soon so should we just not talk about it?

I mean if you are asking me, I would say yes you should not engage in discussion not related to the title of the thread. Doing so allows for too much deviation, which can be disappointing if you really are interested in potential updates. If doing so results in a dead thread, then so be it. That being said, as someone already comedically pointed out, some people are genuinely interested in mundane updates such as a store opening, so who am I to say otherwise.

Looking back in the history of this thread, one of the earlier posts #12 was about a new Shoppers Drug Mart on the east side, so it has consistently been about both stores coming and going, as well as major structural changes.
Likewise, Zara closing in Southgate, Winners opening there and various new stores coming or going in other malls have been mentioned in the respective forums for them. It is useful to know what is coming and going.

Hi everyone, not sure where to post this but I just heard that there might be a new liquor store opening in my neighbourhood and wanted to share... this seems like the place to do so!

Not happening unless IanO says so (without revealing a source) or posts a picture.

Definitely the right place! Also did you know they planted a new tree on the southeast corner of the mall?

If your life is so exciting that these mundane updates don’t interest you, spend your time elsewhere. Sheesh. Get a freaking life man.

perhaps a new thread in the Urban Life sub called Retail Developments would be welcomed

Who would've thought we'd get another update on Silly Forum Drama this year, especially as we enter the season of cheer and goodwill!?

Sartoria Amir seems to be relocating to a larger location in ECC West from their original location in ECC East.

Yup! I distinctly remember seeing this exact picture in the EDM Journal - evening edition - when they delivered the newspaper in the afternoons, around 1084-85'ish? My head nearly exploded by how excited I was as a 11 yr old wee lad....

We're about the same age, but I can remember being disappointed at the old Eaton's building being torn down. As much as the Tegler building, I feel the city lost something a piece of its history there.

I remember thinking at the time it was progress and exciting, but after 40 or so years the excitement wore off. It would have been nice if those 40 storey towers went ahead, but as I recall even then many were skeptical that they were really just being used to entice to city to approve the mall and the developer wasn't very serious about them. Well, soon after the mall was approved, they were dropped.
While I didn't love the building as much as the Tegler, the old Eatons was a very nice downtown department store, the old style, the one that replaced it seemed kind of cold and more sterile even while it still was an Eatons.
The mall had a very glitzy 80's suburban feel to it when it first opened, but it did have a fairly nice selection of stores so I think for some years it actually was a boost to downtown. Those were the years when you could shop downtown and have a selection of stores almost as good as West Ed and perhaps better than Southgate. Hard to imagine now.
