I remember there was a lunch counter in that Zellers, with spinning stools. Much fun! I also liked that it was an enclosed Mall at DSC, but I think it was first opened as an outdoor plaza, then later enclosed (only to be turned back into a plaza as it currently stands). This made for an interesting main hall with an elbow turn at its midpoint and a sloped grade from the top (up by Zellers) to the bottom (down by Dominion).
