	   |  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

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

			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).

			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
