I used to walk through every morning to catch the subway to my old job. Now my office is attached to the Eaton Centre and I walk around there on lunch every day. It is great being back downtown!
I used to walk through the mall every day on the way to work. It was part of my daily routine. Granted, it was before 7am, and the place is quite different when it's empty
I lived at Bathurst and Lawrence for a few years. I'd say it's a pretty good area in that it is safe and there are lots of shops and services around. Not much nightlife, but you can go downtown for that
Aeropostale, no, but there are Hollister, Abercrombie and American Eagle stores in the Eaton Centre. As for the shoes, you might want to try the Athlete's World Superstore.
I remember when The Bay used to be called Simpsons a long time ago. And just a few weeks ago I read an article on Canadian fashion retailer Robin Kay. She's making a comeback and I remember her store on the second floor close to the Queen street exit.
Toronto is all about options. I can choose from any number of restaurants in any number of culturally diverse neighbourhoods. I can choose to shop in any number of stores, attend any number of sporting or cultural events. I can stroll on the beach, walk in the park or people watch in busy downtown. And generally I can go most places at any time. Do I think it's as safe as it was when I was a kid? Or as clean? Or as kind? Probably not. But what big city can say it is?
LOL Today i Went There, I Live In Toronto Too. Yeahhh, I Love Downtown Toronto. So Many Things To See. Chanelle Store,MuchMusic,city tv, Honest Eds,Sam The record Man..which sadly closed down. Hockey Hall Of Fame,Cn Tower, Rogers Center Or Torontonians Still Call It SkyDome, Etc. I LOVE TORONTO
I have been to Montreal, yes. But this wasn't meant to be a debate about ranking cities, it was a question about living in Toronto specifically. You could say the same thing I wrote above about many big cities, including Montreal.
@MKGxx Well, at this point the UAE pretty much have the biggest and best of everything, but the Eaton Centre does remain one of the top tourist destinations in Toronto even after all these years.
Well, I wouldn't argue that we do. Look at it this way, if we weren't blessed with our Canadian genes, Toronto is one of the most multi-cultural cities in the world, so we're really blessed with everyone's genes!

I haven't been there since I was a kid. Probably not long after it was first built. Maybe I'll have to check it out again one day!

If you live in the right spots, you will love it.

Well thank you Janok
Guess we all have our own definition of "window shopping"
Yorkdale and Mississauga's Square One aren't bad for "people watching" either. Ahem, or so I've heard ;-p
Anywhere on Yonge, the Bathurst and Lawrence area.
What would YOU consider a good spot? What sorts of things make a good neighbourhood/area to you?!?
