I abandoned formal clothes ages ago. Anything with a collar is just uncomfortable to me now and looks dated.

I tend to lean towards Polos myself in the summer. I find t-shirts tacky personally.
Business casual is where my head is at.

First of all, there is already, built into the original Eaton Centre base building structure, provision for an additional tower at the south-east end of the site. Footings and structural columns up to the top parking garage floor level on the Yonge Street side are already in place.
My understanding is that in order to proceed with the additional tower, CF wanted to allocate some of the existing parking spots as a private parking area for the tenants / residents of the new tower - which would have required a release from some of the lease covenants in place with the existing Eaton Centre retail tenants. Release from these covenants was not forthcoming, so CF did not, and has not proceeded to date, with the already approved and infrastructure in place tower.
Given these issues, the likelihood of a net new tower, in an area where there would be so many structural and other infrastructure issues , would have to be pretty low.

...besides, collars just don't work with biking booty shorts. <3

Anchors are a thing of the past unless it's Walmart
An Eaton Centre Walmart would probably do extremely well. All these Walmart's are absolutely enormous and they are always busy. And there is so many stores around!

Walmart is actually an ingenious idea however it would not suit the mall.
It works in Square One where there is nothing else around but with all the other high and mid range stores in the area I can see it not going over well. I can already hear the cries of lowered revenue and property values.

Come on down ‘Simons!’ Haven’t they been looking for a space in downtown Toronto?

10 Dundas East is probably a better fit - heck they don't even need a renovation.

As people chime in, older posts do get lost in the shuffle:

It's Oliver and Bonacini. i expect bland, boring and expensive, a fancy overpriced food court.

On the upside, this wouldn't make the complex much worse; on the downside, it wouldn't really improve it either.

Then again, I'm in favour abolishing Wal-Mart which I see as a plague on civil society.

If we’re going for unlikely ideas, I think it’d be cool to see a Costco in that spot

Personally I'd prefer a Holt's or a luxury wing such as Yorkdale or Square One have.
