One of my first childhood memories is looking out that McDonald's windows down to the street with my mom holding me.

I have a memory of my dad taking me to that McDonald's when I couldn't look over the counter and he lifted me up so I could talk to the lady taking our order.

I know there's a certain level of nostalgia around the Eaton Centre and its transformation affecting our perception of what should occur and I acknowledge that it needed to change to keep up with the times but distributed activities across the mall was a smart move by early Eaton Centre management. Putting all the food in consolidated food courts and all clothing across entire sweeping areas makes the mall a homogeneous clinical bore. Food spots across the entire mall gets people to move around. Giving them places to sit to enjoy an ice cream and people watch, keeps them in the mall longer. I don't know if Cadillac Fairview has the slightest idea of what they're doing.

TEC needs a more family friendly restaurant.

It's kind of nice how few children are running around TEC.

I suspect people prefer their clothes shopping to not include the smell of A&W. But I'm sure they've done no studies on traffic flow and consumer preferences to come to the layout they have now. They just winged it of course. No thought or idea at all.
 
That second-floor McDonald's, I once had a personal-sized McPizza there. The McDonald's was facing The Bay. Yes, being a Millennial, I was too late for Simpsons (the only Simpsons I knew was the yellow suburban American family on television, not the department store), but early enough to have McPizza.

I shopped at Simpsons just before they closed.
 
I remember when the north half of the Eaton Centre was built and open. Somewhere in the middle you could look towards Queen Street at the construction for the south half. Getting old.
 
Temporary marketing pop up for the Olympics at 2 Queen. At least we’ll get to see the inside of the space.

I remember McPizzas, and I loved that second-floor McDonald's. I'm iffy on if I actually remember Simpsons or not. I feel like I do remember commercials for co-branded Simpsons & The Bay Days though. Later of course it became simply Bay Days.
