I think the reason the back looks ugly is because of the old parking garage's present. The whole thing just looks so disjointed (is that a word?).
I wonder...why didn't they get rid of that parking garage?
If I were the boss...
1. knock down the garage/bookstore
2. dig the underground incl the garage/bookstore undergound, to make it bigger, and have the parking there (similar to Dundas Sq) and move the stores/food court one level up (since below level 3? is empty anyway).
3. in this case, more stores will be on street and upper levels. What stores want to be at that below anyway?
4. bookstore can be moved to the empty slot above Salad King/that new Hot Dog store. Or the same spot, but new store.
Now that since things are the way it is...
The back is horrible esp the new Ryerson building/skating rink is so nice. What can be changed?
Well, I don't know...maybe put some movie billboards? Add a big screen similar to the Bays'?
