I mentioned that the BAY has a small but quite good grocery on the main level and they were all suprised and NONE of them had shopped it.
i know this is not a telling story of the downtown, but perhaps it somewhat is.
So many downtownites i talk to tell me about how few places there are to go for a nice drink, aka lounge, quick bite, or nice meal......not to mention the "i have to shop outside of the core because there are few stores".
I find that downtown shops in general do not remind people they are there enough....manulife does an ok job, but city centre needs to get out there more. I do see bus ads and the such, but they should be marketing to the people who work downtown and live downtown more so than the suburbanite who wouldnt come downtown either way.
sorry, just bugging me of late.

Just exactly where is the grocery store in the Bay building?
