What about the bridge that connected metrotown with eaton center before, and as soon as you got over the metrotown side, there were public washrooms and this video game store which was always crowded with other kids, because they had a Super Nintendo stand there. Anyone remember that?

I remember when Metrotown wasn't. When it was just a Woodwards and Sears.
Then they built Station Square and then it started to take shape. http://www.revscene.net/forums/vanco...87745p10.html?

You guys don't remember how dead the "other side" was (The Bay side) before the renovation. After the major construction, it drew most customers and consumer to the other side now. A pretty positive thing I must say. Maybe because of the food court. I remember there was a food court beside T and T and around the Stockholm lucky brand jeans area. Then just a few years later, T and T took over the food court and expanded their cooked food section/cashiers.

I remember way back when they were still doing construction on that skywalk that I think is where the food court is now. I was like 7 at the time, and I was always a little scared walking through it because it looked unsafe in there.

What was the name of that arcade by T&T? Circuit Circuit? It was small but cheap, which worked out for my budget

I miss Playdium as well.
I remember there was a Safeway before T&T took over. Now that area of the mall is like a Richmond mall.
