People don't come to Toronto to shop, they leave Toronto to shop.The downtown Eaton Centre has done nothing to change this. The Eaton Centre is mediocre at best and that is giving it more credit then it deserves. You won't find anything original, all the same stores you find in any mall, nothing unique. If you are fussy about sizes they are not as broad as in the U.S. or other parts of the world. Everything it taxed multiple times from import tax and duties to HST and on average prices are 30% more than in the U.S.. Seasonal decorations in the mall rarely change year after year and pick pocketing is an acceptable sport. For some strange reason all this makes the Eaton Centre a tourist attraction. I guess you got to see it to believe it. If I were to be traveling anywhere in the world a mall would not make my top ten list of sights to see. I know this sounds negative, not my intention. Its just the way it is. If you must shop in Toronto, Yorkdale would be the mall of choice. Same stores, nothing special, just cleaner with better service. The Hudson Bay Company seems to be on track to setting a new standard in Toronto shopping. I hope they keep it up. Hudson's Bay seem to be nailing selection, presentation and display very well.
