WHat happenedto Station Square anyways? Why did it become a ghost town?

^ the arcade moved out all thats left there is the movie theatres + bbt but i havent even been there for awhile , is the bbt place still there?

wow they still have that movie theatre at station square?

3 reasons.

1. Location,
2. Location, and
3. Location.

Okay, in all seriousness, there are several reasons, related to what I just stated.

1. The movie theatre at the time (90s) was pretty good, but everyone now goes to Silver City Metropolis instead. Cineplex is basically cannibalizing their older theatre.
2. It's quite difficult to get between Metrotown and Station Square. By that I mean you have to cross that long walkway, and part of it is outdoors too if I remember correctly. If I'm in Metropolis already and I don't want to freeze, SS is automatically not an option.
3. Parking sucks there compared to the rest of the mall.

With that said, there's a really awesome Cougar-type pub next to the theatre (adjacent to the "back door exit" that nobody seems to know about. My buddies and I go there for pitchers all the time. Service is ALWAYS quick as the place is a bit empty. :D

I think swatch is undergoing renos. Its all boarded up with signs that says its under going renos.

To me, metropolis is still pretty new. The pre-metropolis is where its old school. Metrotown and Eaton Center.

ICBC has been in the same spot for ever as well.

I can't remember for sure, but was there a casino in the Holiday in before?

Lol. I remember that trippy store that was dark and sold like Playboy posters and lavalamps.

Store was a trip.

pladium ftw

playdium and planet laser FTW!

spencers? It was by ricky's (which is now gone)

dude san francisco was the shit!

sold everythiong from posters to sex toys to bongs to interesting shit for ur room

i missed that place.

what used to be at the new food court? was it stores that no one really went to? don't really remember..

I used to scared of going to the rainforest cafe. fuck those sounds!

they had that place too at RC nxt to the bay. Back in the days, you would be so hardcore if you went to the "adult" aisle to look at the posters and toys (elementary days)

lawlz good times good times

wow looking at the pic of playdium someone posted.. I remember everything so clearly n it makes me so nostalgic.

Wasn't planet superstar there after playdium?

i think that store was beside playdium..

how about the all you can eat soft ice-cream at the good old Willy's ... is it still there???

Yea, willy's still there. I used to think that was the shit with the all you can eat ice-cream, that was until I got a car and I discovered jap all you can eat.

I think Playdium closed down in....2002/3? and yes It was sueprstar that took over their spot, where winners is now right??

damn this shit brings back memories. Playdium closed down in 2003/2004

There used to be a planet lazer in Metrotown?

I miss Playdium. There's no other arcade that has something similar to their All you can Play, is there?

On the topic of malls...does anyone remember Champlain Mall (Killarney area) during the Bay days?

Playdium would have stayed but Winners offered metro more money as playdiums lease was up. They gave playdium the option to match the offer but playdium declined..
My sisters bf used to be the manager there.

And Rainforest Cafe, are you guys kidding.. the food there sucked balls. the only thing that was awesome was the atmosphere.. if the food wasn't so shit it would have survived...

Do you remember when Metrotown was called Eaton's Centre and had a Woodwards? :eek:

Metrotown management was smart to move the food court. It dispersed shoppers around the mall more, rather than keep them centralized around the old food area.

Yup. That area is much nicer now.
