It had a long life. Built in the mid-1950s as a plaza that was later enclosed. Expanded in the early 1980s. Death 20 years later.
It's still the Centre, but at its centre is parking, parking, and more parking.

Maybe it's me, but I much prefer a mall to these "Smart" Centres. Massive parking lots with individual buildings spread out across it. You almost have to drive between stores. At least in a mall, we're protected from the weather and we can walk to every store, they have many food options, sometimes entertainment. You can make a day of it. Still a lot of parking lots, but it feels like a slightly more efficient use of space with easier transit integration.
