It's dirty, the food court is full of food that will make the mcdonalds across the road look like a clean 5 star place to bring the family. I'd rather eat big macs off of a dirty toilet seat. A double bigmac is probably less greasier too. The stuff is so low quality and faulty factory seconds that the city should fine half the vendors for littering just by placing that junk in their "shops" . It's like our wallets are going to a really low class strip club how sleazy it is there, or a trip to the dump where it smells of incense sticks and knock off cologne if you don't get a good wiff of body odor and curry going place to place (good luck)
Just like the woodbine center (which I'm reviewing next) and neighborhood this is in this place really went down hill. An annoying guy going HEY HEY HEY IT'S DR FLEAS, a wall of has beens that have been in there like this or that singer, this or that wrestler that the locals would have no idea who they are. Lots of junk like this guy selling 2$ dvds that belong in the trash with no original cases or anything.. pirated movies for the cops to bust the people doing it for some last minute end of the month tickets/fines. A dirty farmers market where the fruits and vegetables will probably give you a disease or rot within days of purchase quicker then organic foods. I'd feel safer eating the produce out of a bio chemical waste dumpster. There is a reason grocery stores don't sell their produce that cheap because it will last longer than a day or two. I know times are tough, people have said it for decades. Don't be cheap and buy quality. There used to be an asian anime store, a comic book shop and a few other reasons to go back in the mid 2000s. There is nothing there now, knock offs of everything from colognes and perfumes to clothing I don't know why half of them pay the annual vendor fee. But hey it gets them out of the house. One of my favorites is this guy in the parking lot trying to sell used power tools. Paint on them, covered in rust.. oh heck yeah! I want it, it has character and is totally gonna last me since the first time it was plugged in Ronald Reagan was in the white house.
this place serves one purpose. It's one of those places you go to with people from out of town who want the true rexdale experience without getting your car broken into.
ways to improve
better stores.. which will never happen (Thank you ebay I love you)
the ONLY logical thing would be to tear it down and build a bestbuy or a few big named stores like the source, dollarama and so forth.. or turn it into a ttc subway station.
