    Best buy, movie theater, jack astors, eaton center, way too many cars…it’s just a glorified suburban mall with billboards and street preachers

      For a successful Central open area, check out Mississauga celebration square. Every time I pass there, there is an event, festival, or just people enjoying the splash pads and open space. They play major sports games on the screens, and it’s not just a useless spot for people to get harassed by the Toronto, well known weirdos that nobody does anything about.
