Woodbine Centre

For everyone who has been thinking this whole thing is one big Circus, it's time to take that literally, lol... https://www.royalcanadiancircus.ca/buy/etobicoke

As much as I love circuses, it really can't compete against the haunted house that is the Woodbine Centre.

Empty hallways.

Ancient architecture.

An uneasy feeling lofting through the air.

The ghosts of former stores forever imprinted into the minds of those that visited it.

And us, the survivors, forever doomed to revisit. Eternally haunted by the desire to wander it's empty corridors constantly in search of something

...we shall never find.
 
It seems like (Woodbine Mall) is NEVER getting a supermarket again...while Westwood Mall(Malton) is getting 2 supermarkets

Kade, you haven't been yourself for some time now.

None of this real.

None of it.

It may be scary at first, but Kade

...you've been in a coma for the past 16 years.

The Woodbine Centre no longer exists.

None of this is real.

It's time to wake up.

Wake up and let us go, Kade.

Let us go....

P.S.:
Giant Tiger rocks.

You can't be serious...and YES "giant tiger" rocks but it won't be in Woodbine Mall

The movie theatre spent good (enough) money to keep the theatre open. The Bay is still not a clearance centre (by some miracle) Woodbine Centre is still alive and somehow breathing...a level above life support. (by the miracle that be...)

The best way to show off a dying mall to prospective buyers is to keep it on life support.

Hudson Bay: but our lease expired 3 years---

Woodbine: YOUR LEASE EXPIRES WHEN I SAY IT EXPIRES!

That's a possible valid point. Maybe the Bay is only still there because their lease really did expire 3 years ago, but they were allowed to stay on an extended lease at the same rent...strictly a guess...or there was a (very) long term lease that never increased as the years went on. (because it motivates them to stay as it also helps make the mall look good)
 
Childhood Fantasy

Passing by a memory.
I heard your distant call.
Put for sale and all to see.
The writing on the wall.

You lived your life on borrowed time
and long outstayed your due.
Holding on these thoughts of mine.
My heart still beats for you.

Your empty stores and entrance ways
befell a tale of woe.
Simpler times and yesterdays
recalled from long ago.

I someday dreamed to take my kids
and ride your carousel.
But now your games are packed on skids
and fair an empty shell.

Tuesdays come won't be the same
without you there to show
The newest flicks and biggest names
beneath the marquee glow.

Your memory I swear to keep.
Of how you used to be.
But now I hang my head and weep.
My childhood fantasy.
