Thank you Johnny for showing us the different stores inside this large mall, this mall reminds me of the shopping centre in my city.😃 Furthermore, I’m glad to see your scrumptious meal at the end of this video, I hope you enjoyed it. And maybe next time you should make an IKEA video lol, I would definitely watch.😁 Thanks again for sharing this video!😘
OMG ... I haven't been there since they closed the flea market that was on Brock Road ... Can't wait for this one ... Thanks Johnny .... oops was thinking about Pickering Town Center
The cafe; no, and the hot air balloons; yes. The glory days of shopping malls in both Canada and the United States were from the 1960's to the early 2000's. Nowadays, malls have been in decline even abandoned for many years. Allot of restaurants, retail & department stores, have gone under for the past couple of decades. As for Scarborough, Brampton, etcetera, well, consider it east India now. Peace!
Hi Johnny! Happy New Year! Thanks for this tour - it was like going down memory lane for me. Haven't been there for almost 20 years so this was really nice to see!
I want to thank you for coming to Scarborough Town Centre Johnny. I hope you had a lovely, awesome, and amazing time walking around and streaming in my hometown of Scarborough I miss being around that area, haha. I apprenticed you coming back to film in Scarborough. You're the best!
One thing you forgot to mention was that Line 3 was closed 3-4 months in advance because of a derailment that sent five people to hospital. Unfortunately a year after, it remains a huge loss for the people of Scarborough as TTC missed out on some opportunities to upgrade the line, commute times have obviously increased and a busway hasn’t started construction yet. Average time from Malvern neighbourhood to Kennedy station is around 45 minutes on the 133 Neilson bus for instance).
If it weren't so cold out, you might of stumbled across the Toys "R" Us that is only accessible for some reason from the outside (beside Decathlon), as well as the Cineplex theatre and numerous restaurants surrounding the mall area. Good for dinner meet-ups in the area. This is my local mall and enjoyed seeing it from your perspective. Like you said, it's pretty generic, but it gets the job done for the essentials you want/need. On special weekends, STC also hosts themed markets that support local and smaller businesses, which is cute and builds community. Thanks for the walkthrough. Oh, it was also funny seeing the nail tech who just did my nails walk by one of your frames 😂. Happy and safe walking in your journeys to come ☺️
I agree on STC's blandness post-renovations. I wonder if that's because Oxford didn't want to invest as much as Yorkdale or Square One because of the major demographic changes in the area + median income. STC is having trouble finding retailers to fill spaces, and most of the current spaces are filled by random odd shops that don't fit a certain niche or bring additional character to the mall.
The Xscape entertainment center is the arcade section of the Ciniplex movie theater. They've closed off mall access since lockdown, but you can only get in from the outside parking lot doors. I got really tired of this mall after always coming here for our kids Saturday pre-swimming lesson snack. Its been my family's goto when we moved out to Scarborough. But I've been visiting this mall since the days the food court was in the upper level where the Jollibees was, and the mall had water featured with colourful hot air balloons.
Good to see my old stomping grounds. I spent a lot of time at the Scarborough Town Centre, as well as at Woodside Mall and Cedarbrae Mall, when I was growing up. It’s definitely changed a lot since I was a kid.
I’ve been to Scarborough Town Centre so many times! I remember the line 3 Scarborough RT trains used to serve Scarborough Centre ststion. Really missed line 3 Scarborough RT. Thanks for the video around STC!
This was a nice walk around the Scarborough Town Centre looking at the various areas especially the food courts and it is a nice warm place to be on a cold day there in Toronto thanks Johnny.🧋👋🇨🇦
I used to hang out at the STC in the 70's when I lived in Toronto for a few years. I remember a water fountain which was a feature at the time. It was fun to watch powerful jets of water shooting up in the air.
I live in the area of the STC. For me, between the city and Scarberia, it's by GO transit only. York Mills and Yorkdale run GO to the STC. Or the Stouffville GO train from Union to Agincourt GO, continued by TTC express bus to STC. As always, a great video.
I remember the Town Centre being built. I was a teenager and I could walk to it. I used to skate at the Civic Centre next door. Then when we moved up to Finch and Midland, I could see the Town Centre from my parents' bedroom window. Eventually, trees and buildings blocked the view. Before the Town Centre was built, there was a small forest, with a riding stable there. I have a photo of me at about 3 years old, sitting on a pony, where the mall now sits. You couldn't get onto the 401 from McCowan in those days. There was just a bridge going over the highway. You had to get onto the highway from Kennedy or Markham.
Wow so much memories of Scarborough town centre good ones and bad ones. Mostly good though. I live in Cambridge and I got to admit a part of me miss seeing the landmarks I’m used to seeing in Toronto. Cambridge honestly feels like a whole different world. Thanks for the video.
Thank you so much for representing a bit of Scarborough, cannot appreciate this enough 💜 Edit: That cineplex entrance used to be open before with a little gaming centre in between, I think the entrance from the mall closed around covid. And lol yes that store has been closing ever since I first moved to Scarborough 16 years ago.
Hey Johnny, its Cineplex Entertainment is the Cineplex movie theatre with the entertainment holding up the mall entrance because of Coronavirus; so the entrance to Cineplex is from outside the mall.
imagine every weekend they close station to fix the track. i loved the lrt they were lazy with the upkeep of it because the track pins came loose causing the derailment.
Thanks for the vid! I haven't visited STC in years! Surprised to see IKEA. Maybe I will visit and have some IKEA meatballs. I noticed the benches have no backrest-discouraging people not to sit too long.

That mall looks fantastic, will definitely give it a visit when in Toronto in the Summer
I worked there for many years. It has changed so much.
Does anyone remember the old Rainforest Cafe and the hot air balloons?
Yeah, that was a cool place to eat.

Welcome to my neck of the woods Johnny ! I haven't been to STC in a while, despite living not far from there. Thank You for your walk around !!

Looking forward to this, I haven't been to STC since they closed the SRT
Hi Johnny nice live stream today! ❤ have a great day!
I haven't been there since the 80's. This is a much better way to see it. Looks kinda like Pearson Terminal 1.

Bless Sunday morning from Montreal QC ! .. hello there and hello everyone ! ..

good morning everyone
I was at STC that same day. I was probably home by the time you were walking/filming. So darn close!
Thanks Johnny! Haven't been here in a while let's see what's going on! ❤

Hi Johnny thank you for the tour - nice selection of stores/restaurants. Thanks very much & enjoy your day ☺
That entrance was the cineplex entrance

I’ve been to Scarborough Town Centre so many times! I remember the line 3 Scarborough RT trains used to serve Scarborough Centre ststion. Really missed line 3 Scarborough RT. Thanks for the video around STC!
From Midtown to STC is only a 25 minute drive right now on the highway. Our transit has been neglected for too long.
This was a nice walk around the Scarborough Town Centre looking at the various areas especially the food courts and it is a nice warm place to be on a cold day there in Toronto thanks Johnny.🧋👋🇨🇦
Dope that you came to my stomping grounds Johnny, thank you.

Hey @JohnnyStrides you should have shown the 'Scarborough walk of Fame' 💫in the last bit where you walked over the stars ✨

Grew up in Scarborough 60's to 80's. Scarborough Town Center was where i went as a teenager. Loved it there
I live in Ottawa that store closing with the jackets did the same thing and then reopened like a week after the truth 🙃
This city is one of the top contributors to the economy of the province and country. Its people deserve better transit at the least. It’s sad.
Good day jhonny and everyone…
Guy take walk by the chick fil a but. Being Sunday it will be closed lol
imagine every weekend they close station to fix the track. i loved the lrt they were lazy with the upkeep of it because the track pins came loose causing the derailment.

Wow so different from the 70s and early 80s.
I always like going to Jollibee in Vancouver 😎
Most malls should also have free childcare and elder care day centers in there too.
They also need affordable childcare and elder care Day centers there too.
I like this mall ❤❤🎉
Poulet Rouge is a new chicken spot from Montreal. It’s not Swiss Chalet.
Menzies tailing a cop back and forth on the highway! You've got to love it. Is Menzies not the best journalist in Canada.
RIP Scarborough RT
Nice video. I'm guessing you don't eat as many IKEA hot dogs anymore.
You didn't show Dollarama, or maybe I missed it, lol.
Nor Moxie’s (Restaurant) on the upper level across from Scotiabank
This bay looks better than are in kitchener
2001?

Walking distance from my house
Such a lifeless city
Where are you from?
STC is a shithole now it was way better 20 years ago
