  • Who else misses Malls? Here's a retro look at some of our fav Malls from the 1980s - The Eaton Centre, Yorkdale, Sheridan, Fairview, and Moutainview!
    Retrontario’s primary mission is the preservation, research and exhibition of rare videotape recordings (1970s to 1990s) recorded off of any and all Ontario (and surrounding area) TV channels; footage which would likely be lost if not sought out and preserved digitally. We also hope to create an ongoing oral history of this content through comments left below the videos. Please add to this evolving history, if you know more information pertaining to the clips, fondly remember them or have a modern thought all comments are welcome! For more information on how to help in our mission please visit us at: www.retrontario...

    Ah, I remember when Yorkdale looked like that and the neon lights still worked at the subway station. Picking up my mom who worked at Simpsons shoes department in my footie p/js. And the Eaton Centre, another spot she worked: the fountain that shot water 3 stories up, the Magic Pan restaurant, Lime Rickey’s, and the insanity on Boxing Day when guys on ladders would use megaphones to control the crowd trying to get into all the “cool” fashion stores there. She would also shop the Annex there where my brother would hide in the round clothes racks and scare the crap out of her. The 80s hair and shoulder pads were real in these ads, LOL!

    Sheridan Mall in the southern-end of the Jane-Finch corridor at one time was the epitome of suburban shopping malls. It had great first-run movie theatres and lots of prosperous chain retail stores, on par with Fairview Mall, Town and Country Mall and Scarborough Towne Centre. By 2000 times had seriously changed. While those early 80s times now seem frivolous, it was genuinely a better time in Toronto history.

      Is it really "so many malls" that have closed down though? I can think of like two examples in the GTA (Honeydale and Don Mills Centre) and one that is slated to be demolished (the Galleria on Dufferin). More common is malls that have been partially been redevloped towards open air big box plazas, like South Common Mall or the Meadowvale Town Centre, but still retain some of their original mall elements. I'm sure there are a few other example of closed malls in the GTA, but the vast majority of malls that were open in the 1980s are still around today, even if some of them are kind of in rough shape.

    • @sacvideo1998
      @sacvideo1998 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      @@alexsdb9712 Most of the malls we have were built before boomers would have realistically been old enough to be calling the shots at real estate development companies. The oldest boomer was 24 years old when Fairview opened, for example, and only 18 when Yorkdale opened. If anything it would have been members of the greatest or silent generations who decided to build all these malls everywhere, if not an even older cohort. Looking at this through a lens of generational conflict though, is really just diverting attention away from issues with capitalism itself. Though I'm not going to lie, I can't hate on capitalism for giving us all these malls, as someone who grew up in the 90s I'm a pretty big mall fan.

    while I prefer ordering items online now (not just because of COVID), I really enjoyed going to the mall when I was a kid. Especially when the weather was bad and not much to do outside. They had video game arcades with dozens of video games, lots of food places including the Giant Hot Pretzels, movie theaters, Spencers Gifts, a lot of other unique stores that I can't even recall the names, it was so long ago. It was just a good place to get out of the house, walk around, interact with people, etc. And you didn't really have to spend a lot of money, you could just enjoy looking.

    It makes me cry when I think of how now in 2022 here in the Buffalo, NY area there's really only one mall The Walden Galleria Mall and the Niagara Falls Factory Outlets Mall. I miss the now defunct Eastern Hills and Boulevard Malls.😭😞

      It's Sandi Stahlbrand, who used to be a news reporter in Montreal and later Toronto. She had a nice side gig in movies (like the filmed in Toronto "Tommy Boy" with Chris Farley) mostly playing TV news reporters. The lady in the puffy red coat I think is Linda Kash, who did all those Philly cream cheese commercials but I could be wrong.

      I don't think anyone thinks living during a global pandemic is normal, that's why they are taking the sensible precaution of wearing masks to limit the risk of catching or spreading a deadly disease. I'm sure this video isn't of much interest to you as you never attend malls, but thank you for taking time out of your day to show up here anyway and encourage people to wear masks, a helpful public health message.
