I think the Buckingham was on the corner and the Peppermint was mid-block. No evidence of that other than a vague memory and counting rooflines in that pic along with the location of the crosswalk markings.
I am willing to bet that the Buckingham's neon sign was indeed animated. Had to be, it looks too cool.
Here is a pic from the City archive that shows just how big the Scotia Square/Cogswell interchange development was. Taken from an angle I had not seen previously. Makes Nova Center look like a small project!
