I do. But we’re way north of bloor where a substantial amount of these forums have people who get nose bleeds. I especially like it in contrast to Yorkdale.
 
It's not Yorkdale? But I think we discussed that one before...
 
I used to shop there as a kid. I liked it then, and I still do, and it's not based on nostalgia. It's a closer mall to me with useful stores, decidedly middle income (unlike Yorkdale, which also looks visually awful...it's been blandified by years of renovations)

I don't shop here anymore, due to the annoyance of taking two buses and a subway here (which will be made much easier when the Crosstown finishes*), but I would because the shops it has are more useful for me than whatever's at Yonge Eglinton Centre.

The Toys “R” Us even moved from Yonge-Eglinton Centre to Lawrence Allen Centre.

@kade1064:

The former The Source is being renovated to be used as an election office.

Yes, Lawrence Allen Centre is the mall I frequent the most often.
 
This was the first "American style" mall I visited when I immigrated to Canada with my parents as a child. I went to summer day camp there at https://www.nych.ca/ . Bought my first digital camera at the RadioShack there. Definitely some nostalgia.

I will still stop by sometimes if I am driving somewhere in the area, though I haven't for a while. The Fortino's used to always have a lot of delicious smoked rainbow trout in stock that I love.

No. The Rexall will be open in about a few months based on my observations.

By the way, both the former The Source unit and the unit adjacent to it are being used as an election station.
