Still, I’m glad they didn’t give in. They knew what would happen if they didn’t fix it. They were hoping it would deteriorate enough that the city would let them tear it down. Having said that, I’m sure they’ll continue to sit on it.

Well yes, there no redeeming value to the building except that it's old.
They will just sit on it until it starts falling down upon itself. There are some park dwellers that use the space between it and that law firm building as a bathroom on the alley side.
I was at the North YMCA last night and was reminiscing about high school...back when the Y was the Coop Hardware store in the Sherwood Village Mall. We used to skip 1st period and go the the restaurant in the Hardware store and get a full breakfast for $1.99.
We tried to remember the old layout of the mall and all the stores held within, but had many blanks. Does anyone know where to find old maps/layouts of the Sherwood Village Mall and the Normanview Mall?

OMG I hope someone can find those. I also grew up in the area and fondly remember many trips to those malls. I vaguely remember a different food court layout for the Sherwood Mall before they turned it into a separate entrance with an M&M Meats, which is still in the same spot. Does anyone remember which restaurants were in there? I remember DQ and Trifons in the new food court. Who could forget the Dominos Pizza and arcade as well.
Sherwood Village:
Coop (Hardware and Grocery) opposite ends
Shoppers
Sherwood Credit Union
TD Bank
Saan Store
The Met (I remember the name, but can't picture it)
Pet Store (maybe Pat's Pets?)
Travel Agent
Unique Florists
Work World
M&M Meats (late addition...took over the food court)
A Music Store (I remember buying a Bobby Brown Cassette)
A dingy Arcade (not the Dominos one)
a Trinket store (used to buy tiny plastic dinosaurs)
Bensons (bar)
Japan Camera
Coles Books
Hallmark Cards
Hair Salon (Not sure the name)
Jewellery Store

My memory tells me there was a Heindrick's Jewelers and Peter Pan Toys there at some point too.
Dug a little further back to find a listing of stores for the Normanview Shopping Center. The ad says it's their 2nd anniversary. No mention of Zellers, and I don't recall when it was added to the mall. Scroll to page 8 for the ad.
