Olddd metrotown..
 
anyone remember metrotown in the 90's? i remember in the late 90's when they had the old foodcourt that was on the bottom level, they had a giant screen for kids to play around with. You stand infront of the projector and it puts a big shadow of yourself on the screen. And also i vaguely remember wayyy back in the early 90's probably 90-91 before they even had that projector and screen there use to be a toy store there.. anyone remember that?.. i miss those days

the old food court is where the Coach is now, that general area. I remember playing at Playdium then going downstairs for food. I still have those cups from the Rainforest Cafe!

hanged out with raiders jackets to pick up chicks.
got there by skytrain when it was barely new.

SkinnyPupp 01-16-2010 08:52 AM

Wow I'm going to have to check this place out next time I go back. Sounds totally different from what I remember.

Do they still have that sports store with the 100 meter track?

c3m 01-16-2010 08:59 AM

^ that became Esprit and Winners now I believe

FN-2199 01-16-2010 09:19 AM

^ It was called Superstar before.

Can any of you remember that old walkway to get to 'Eatons Centre'?

hotjoint 01-16-2010 09:28 AM

I miss the times when you pay $10 for 1-hr of unlimited gaming between 9AM-11AM or something on Saturdays. It was something worth waking up for.

Then, after consumed from hours of gaming, my friends and I would go to rainforest and have lunch (which now became Old Navy and the bathroom). Miss those old days :cry:

I remember when Zellers was once Woodwards. Best department store ever! Bottom floor had the best Christmas and toy displays (where T&T is now).

Jobo 01-16-2010 10:40 AM

There used to be this big ass asian restaurant somewhere where the foodcourt is now... good food. I miss it :(

I remember the skywalk to get to the other side too! With Guess at the beginning of one end, and a teddy bear convience store thing at the other. Whenever you look out the window, you would see a parked skytrain on the tracks

Grandmaster TSE 01-16-2010 10:41 AM

i remember the walkway to the eaton side
2 food courts
playdium
planet superstar
arcade at the t&t side
rainforest cafe (the food sucked)
