I used to hang out often at Eglinton Town Centre over a decade ago. I stopped going mainly because…read moremy friends and I ended up going to other Cineplex theatre locations. I recently returned to check this plaza out. On Saturday, I was here to take in a movie at Cineplex Odeon. It pretty much anchors the open plaza of huge box stores. It's a decent place to take in a movie. There is lots of parking and the seats are comfy. There are a handful of eateries parallel and closest to Lebovic Avenue. The Real Greek, East Side Mario's, and Minerva Tiffins were doing decent business when my movie was over at around 3:30 pm. There used to be a diner called Nickels in this row of eateries. It was owned by Celine Dion. My friend and I loved eating here. It threw you back to milkshakes, sandwiches, burgers, and Montreal-style smoked meats from the 50's or 60's. It was good eats and fairly cheap. It still sits vacant as this silver-looking bullet. It's a shame. Some businesses have stood the test of time. Old Navy, Wendy's, Roots, CIBC, and Dollarama are some of them. It was nice to see that they are still kicking around. There are some newer additions that look promising. Seafood City Supermarket and Healthy Planet are huge size-wise. I'll need to check them out when I return. It's a nice plaza where you can get almost everything. It does need a drugstore, though. Maybe one will pop up down the road. (173)

Tip: If you are southbound on Kennedy Road and are turning left into Kennedy Commons, there are two…read moreleft turn lanes. You want the left one to head straight into this plaza and across William Kitchen Road. Use the right lane to pull into Kitchen Stuff Plus, Metro, and more stores on the right. I have hit 4000 reviews on Yelp. Wow! I was at Kennedy Commons earlier today. It seems fitting to write about it. When I moved back to the greater Toronto area (GTA), I spent a lot of time at Kennedy Commons. It was a cool plaza with businesses that I loved. The best part of it was an AMC that had twenty theatres. Movie prices were cheap. I got free popcorn every so often. The seats were comfy. I loved the entire movie experience. I was sad when AMC left the GTA. This AMC in Scarborough was demolished. Although I still enjoy going to the movies, it's not the same. Businesses have come and gone over last couple of decades. I used to grab dinner with a friend after taking in a movie. We'd head over to Casey's Bar and Grill. A burger. A Diet Coke. Apple pie with vanilla ice cream. Such fond memories! Sunset Grill and Meridian Credit Union now occupy that spot. The former is a winner if you love breakfast items, but closes at 3 pm every day. I never shopped at Mr Big & Tall. It has since been replaced by Hakka Boyz and Dosa Boyz. Well, it's still on the guy side of things, I guess. Two other businesses that I loved were Cafe Mirage and Chapters. The former had good desserts and yummy food. I frequented it often. I miss Chapters. I have fond memories spending a lazy Sunday afternoon checking out books and having a drink at Starbucks. It shuttered for good in January 2024. Sears. Sears Whole Home. George Richards. Mr Greek. Golf Town. Rona. Made in Japan. Rest in plaza peace. These days, I'm fortunate that I have a bunch of stores at Kennedy Commons that I love: - Sunset Grill - Jollibee - Foody World - Metro - Michaels - Kinton Ramen New to the list is McDonald's that I frequented today. It's got a two-lane drive-thru. Yummy food. Fast and friendly service. Awesome! The Jollibee is the closest one to my home. Pineapple drink. Peach mango pie. Filipino spaghetti. Burger steaks. It's all good. The Foody World is awesome. Yummy frozen treats. Snacks. There's a CoCo bubble tea and a food court. The Metro used to be open 24 hours. It's now scaled back to a 10 pm closing time. Staff have always been super helpful. I remember coming here a few days after experiencing horrible food poisoning. I had enough strength to get broth and salted crackers at 9:30 pm. It felt so good having solid food again, albeit bland. I also got raw honey and celery after a long day. Markham lost its Michaels store years ago. This one is the closest one to me. It has everything that I need, from yarn to calligraphy ink. Kinton Ramen is delightful. I've always dined in. Staff are attentive. The ramen and gyoza are yummy. I also like the pig mirror in the washroom. I like this plaza a lot. Business turnovers are high, but I have fond memories of special businesses that I frequented and miss while establishing new ones that I love. (116)

This is a very busy outdoor shopping centre in which all businesses have their own separate…read moreentrances to the outside. I frequent this mall because it has easy access to Hwy 401 at Kennedy Road. This is especially advantageous if you exit eastbound Hwy 401 which allows direct access into Kennedy Commons. It's a breeze compared to travelling northbound on Kennedy Rd from Ellesmere Rd. Many business choices here including my favourites which I have posted separate reviews for; a super Metro store, a huge Foody World, plus all the other notables of Petsmart, LCBO, Jolibee, Kitchen Stuff Plus, and Chapters to name a few. It's a zoo atmosphere with parking but you can shop and dine all day without leaving this property.

I came here to meet a friend for lunch. This place get really busy in the afternoon so I try to…read moreavoid malls in the late afternoon. Also the washrooms in this mall haven't been renovated & are usually dirty. One plus for this mall is the new Marry Me Mochi donut place near Moxie's. Also this Moxie's has a great cook. The food here has always been good when I eat at this location. I have been to other Moxie's and they are not good. A con for this mall is the transit is now outside the mall on one of the side roads. When the LRT used to be open there was a bus bay there the buses used to stop. So for transit users this mall isn't as convenient as it used to be. This mall is best for those who have a car.

Scarborough Town Centre has been around for more than 40 years…read more I like the evolution of this mall. They are adding more stores soon since the big box retailers Bay and Sear are long gone. There's an Ikea city store and Urban Behavior clearance store with all items $10 or less. This new information kiosk is kind of cool. Its setup like a smartphone with widgets. If you are looking to do some Xmas shopping this holiday season then definitely come here. The food offerings here are excellent as well. They got a huge food court with lots of delicous food offerings across the globe. You want more of a dine in experience? Visit Moxies, Jack Astors, Scaddabush, Milestones, Hibachi, etc. The washrooms here need more TLC. The cleaning staff need to clean more frequently to make it a more pleasant shopping experience.

My rating is 3.5 stars. I'll round up…read more Parkway Mall has been around my entire life. I grew up in the Beaches. My parents and I would pass by it whenever we were driving along Victoria Park Avenue. We'd stop by this mall primarily for two stores: - Miracle Food Mart - Kmart Our usual Miracle Food Mart was Gerrard Square. This one was our second usual Miracle. The special part about this grocery store, which is now Metro, is the domed roof. It has always been that way and is considered a heritage property. When my parents and I moved from Toronto to Markham (my first stint), we shifted from a one-bedroom apartment to a house. We needed a better vacuum. My parents had a Hoover upright. There was a sale at Kmart for a more powerful Hoover with hose attachments. We came to this mall to get it. It lasted a good couple of decades. I figure that I got my brand loyalty from my parents. I am that way with products that work for decades, such as Sony and Samsonite. Kmart is no more. It probably explains one reason why we stopped frequenting this mall. The other was that it was dumpy back then. Roughly a decade ago, I spent a lot of time at the McDonald's drive-thru that is detached physically from the mall, but is still a part of it. It is steps away from Ellesmere Road. I used to work at Yonge and Eglinton. When I'd drive along York Mills-Ellesmere heading eastbound and felt like grabbing a bite to eat for dinner after work, I'd come here. I never had any issues with my order. It's funny that I have yet to go inside the restaurant. I was recently at Parkway Mall to grab some bubble tea at CoCo. There was plenty of parking. I loved the CoCo store. It is a great addition to the mall. There's also Gabby's across from it. I used to like the wings there and hope that they are still yummy. I hope to drop by one of these days. I haven't walked the entire mall because I still don't feel comfortable browsing in a large space during a pandemic. I will say that this mall satisfies your needs for most things. Groceries. A food court. Restaurants. School and office supplies. Cell phones and providers. Drug store. Dental and health services. I'd say that Dollarama, Metro, and Dollarama anchor this mall. I parked in front of Dollarama. I wanted to go into this store, but I had an order to pick up elsewhere. Next time! I hope to spend more time taking a closer look at what the mall has to offer. From my brief visit a couple of Saturdays ago, it is definitely less dumpy than I recall it to be. (77)

The Metro is considered one of the best in Scarborough. Love the TD Canada Trust branch and Gabby's Restaurant. Lots of selection at the LCBO and you have to try a Banana Split Sundae at Marble Slab Creamery. Can't find that odd hardware item? Head to Bailey's Home Hardware inside the mall or even venture into Dollarama. Refresh yourself with something from Real Fruit Bubble Tea, CoCo Fresh Tea & Juice or Healthy Planet (or even Tim Hortons, McDonald's).

When I was a kid I remember going to Fairview Mall. Back then you had Sears and Hudsons Bay as…read moreflagship stores. Now in 2025, both big box stores are no longer in business. Fairview Mall has gone through an evolution and reimagination of the retail space. I love how they redeveloped the space where Sears used to be. The space is now converted into a mini Chinatown spot with Saint Germain bakery, bubble tea shop, Hong Kong style cafe, Thai restaurant, and a T&T Supermarket. On the top floor there's a Marshalls / Homesense big box store. I noticed the Zara store has been renovated and now occupying 2 levels. The store looks immaculate and love the modern layout and self serve checkout kiosks to make shopping faster for DIY people. I managed to do some shopping at H&M and got some great deals in the sale section. I also bought some groceries like green beans, lychee, bbq pork buns, and curry beef pastries. It's not very often you can go to regional mall and be able to buy clothes, groceries, and bakery goods. It was a pleasant experience. I look forward to the transformation of the vacant Hudson Bay space. Oh did I mention they have a Playdium arcade in the old Sportchek space beside the Cineplex theatre.
