Chinatown Centre — Attraction in Toronto

This mall is a cultural staple of the district. For less fanciful language, it's just great. As you walk in, you'll regard chinese culture as immensely enlightening and full of knowledge and ideas we could learn from, without trampling over them and making them seem impractical. The highlight of the area is the immense number of objects and ideas rooted in ancient practices and ideas about mother earth.

At first I found this area of the city intimidating. I didn't know what to expect, but once I dove I to the consequences of our society without the Chinese influence, and what it would be like if they were not there, I realized how important it was for me to acknowledge and learn what it meant to live in this beautiful part of the city. I look forward to taking more pictures. It's one of the more sensational parts of Toronto, even more important in my mind, to the next century, than its relatively less important and enlightened neighbouring areas. It's an amazing...

Mall was interesting but not too much variety, feels like a facelift could bring in more vibrant businesses. Today’s trip was highlighted by an older woman with a high pitch voice that owned a cramped store featuring many stuffed animals including Pokémon. I went there to look for one for my nephew and immediately was greeted by the lady who sneaked behind me to yell only four people inside the store which there were only four of us and she wasn’t counting. Then there customer three people in front of me were looking at one of her wares and again yelled to communicate to the person in front instead of going around to talk to her like a normal thinking problem solver. Clearly that old coot was nutty and off her meds as all of us were visibly uncomfortable and we all left the store. I recommend that woman go to the herbal medicine store upstairs or turn into an online store as her people skills were worse than my neighbors...

I would like to start off by saying....this mall and spadina itself was my childhood. I used to LOVE that place. I haven't gone in a few years and I got married and have a baby nowadays. I told my husband I wanted to take him to our Chinatown in the GTA. (We went to the Vancouver one and it was atrocious) so I was highly confident this one would blow him away.

We went....elevators....broken....human feces....in the parking stairs.....gun shot wounds....in the door glasses...

I felt terrible and highly embarrassed.

It's not the same it used to be. It was lit back in the days. More maintenance and vibrant colors and stores. Now it's just a run...
