Just a personal opinion, however.
I thought the Eaton Centre was part of Jackson Square and whatever that is called now, the name eludes me and isn't on any maps I have, it's that downtown shopping centre thingy that I'm talking about demolishing. Not that the rest of JS isn't bloody ugly too.

The Eaton Centre 'Hamilton City Centre' was added on to JS and the old Eatons building around 1989? before JS was built there was just the old Eatons store on that part of James Street, Jackson Square was then built and added onto the old eatons building in the early 70's, fast forward to 89' it was then decided to expand Eatons into the Eaton Centre a supposed Mega Shopping Complex like they had/have in Toronto.. I remember the Big grand opening they had back then, all the hype lasted for about 1-3 years and then stores started to close...I wish that place was never built...and we still had the original Eatons store still, but Eatons went Bankrupt and closed for good around 95'..sad...
