Not yet. Google images isn't providing any photos either. I may do a return trip soon to the area for followup photos. Admittedly, I was under the presumption that the Albion mall location was going to replace the nearby Dollarama at 1620 Albion Rd.

Across the street from the Rexdale Mall, land development continues at the old Sears Warehouse location: Photo by: Diane Sammut Hamlett Photo by: Eugenio Arcilesi Alongside a Coscto warehouse, a Canadian Tire and an LCBO (which follows the last opening at Queens Plate and Highway 27) are...

Thank you for the article, Richard. It was a good read. Speaking of warehouses in the area, the old Sears Warehouse on Rexdale and Islington is reportedly being redeveloped as a Costco, some residential and the possibility of a larger Canadian Tire (both Kipling locations are said to be merging...

I can only wonder what would replace the Canadian Tire in the Albion Mall. Probably another Asian Supermarket. That seems to be the growing trend with the general vicinity. Though, the service station gas pump brings a lot into question. It's common for Canadian Tire's retail outlets to...

Today, I heard a rumour that Canadian Tire is closing in the Albion Mall. Apparently, the older Canadian Tire location on Kipling and Rexdale is also set to shut down. Furthermore, both Canadian Tire locations are planned to be merged along with the upcoming Costco on Rexdale and Islington...

Yes, Amazon filed an application with the city of Toronto to demolish the Woodbine as of last year. One of the ride attendants said the Fair itself will be running for at least another year or so. The city of Toronto can decline the proposal. Though, I haven't been able to access the city's...

In the process of taking some recent night photography shots, I started thinking "what if the Woodbine Centre had a pedestrian overpass?" Do you think a bridge connecting the Woodbine Centre to the Woodbine Racetrack or the stores across Highway 27 would help inspire more foot traffic to the...

I call this google photo set "Portrait of a Woodbine": Once a lively spectacle: the food court's empty seats and leased stores now offers a serene backdrop for introspective thoughts. More often than not, only one escalator would be working at a time. Admittedly, it was my Dad's pre-movie...

Hello there. First of all, thank you for all the photos from Instagram (and welcome to the world's greatest Woodbine Centre "fanclub" on the internet :cool:). You're right. The Carousel is the best feature of the Woodbine these days - an attraction that should be protected. The banner you're...

Seems like a risky proposition these days:

Recent shopper-submitted photos from the Woodbine:

The state of the Fantasy Fair continues to be brought up in discussions across social media. The rides being listed, then withdrawn, then supposedly sold off privately without making headlines. Last week, our friend (and Vintage Rexdale contributor) Eugenio Arcilesi spoke to one of the Fantasy...

According to the filming of Animorphs' second season, the year was 1999. A time before Woodbine morphed into its own unique "changes".

Fun fact: the Loof carousel in the Woodbine Centre wasn't originally built in 1976. That would have been impossible as Charles Loof had been dead for about 58 years by that point. The Loof carousel was built in 1911, the original wooden horses auctioned off and new fibreglass ones were installed...

Leaked promotional photo of Woodbine's new name change: Given Woodbine's tendency to rename existing stores, I initially thought Gold Plaza had replaced Oliver Jeweller. Not the case (different section of the mall).

It seems Woodbine's current owner was planning to rename the Woodbine Centre into "Woodbine Village". There's even a facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/Woodbine-Village-165793144012641/ Last updated in 2017. Which just reminds me of Maggiano's "Coming Soon In 2017" banners.... Edit: The...

Current happenings in everyone's favourite mall: Discounts on liquidated items? I must be dreaming! For a shot taken in February, that's the longest boxing week sale I ever saw. Always make sure you check the best before dates. Especially on discounted canned foods. Fantasy Despair in...

There is an old saying that goes "variety is the spice of life". Speaking of variety: Feel free to count along. Okay... I guess I can keep one mint in the box.... Rumour has it that a "six of a kind" is being tabled to appear in 2038. An interior shot of the recently-renovated...

"Hello, Kade. Remember me? I'm still at the Woodbine Centre. Come and visit me."

The Woodbine's hideous wall tiles have found their way into a TV show. Grand Army. Season 1. Episode 13 "Relationship Goals". According to Wikipedia: The series takes place at Grand Army High School, a public high school, in Brooklyn, New York. The students wrestle various challenges including...
