Found this older photo on twitter. The poster said it was taken in 1986 (the quality sure looks like it) looking out of the window of Hudson's Bay at the Woodbine Center. Correct me if I'm wrong, but Fortinos didn't move from the Albion Mall to Queens Plate Drive until the early 2000's.

The vintage memories continue with another celebrity spotted at the Rexdale Plaza. Twitter user Erin Zabukovec is seen pictured here with the late Ernie Coombs (best known for starring in the Children's Television show "Mr. Dressup") at the Rexdale Plaza.

So, Woodbine has an official twitter account which is (surprisingly) active. One such nugget I found was pics of the re-opened arcade in the Fantasy Fair: Gone are the 80's and 90's arcade cabinets of yesteryear. I won't lie, I'd probably give this giant version of Space Invaders a...

I figured Dollarama was simply adding more stores in the Rexdale area; what with the new Dollarama just opening up at Kipling Plaza and all.

Rumour has it that Dollarama is moving from the Woodbine into Albion Mall. Does anyone know if there is any truth to this?

More vintage Rexdale Plaza memories: For the first store inventory, Rexdale Plaza was oddly listed as "Rexdale Shopping Centre". This listing is from 1969: Next up is an aerial view of the Nearby Red Barn restaurant. Judging by the aerial view, I'd say Rexdale Plaza is on the right...

Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the mall. Not a shopkeep was stirring. Not one busy stall. The storefronts were locked up and hallways just bare. The smell of stale popcorn still fresh in the air. Even Santa himself was bored with the view. With puzzling sights...

Looks like the rumours of a Dollarama coming to the Albion Mall were true. Photos taken a few days ago: The store with the bars used to be Silver Dollar. Then later "Your Dollar Store with More". On the right was Ardene.

Oh, man. I needed that laugh. Thank you, Towered! 😆

I love how the holes in the wall (where the movie posters used to be downstairs) are still visible in this stock photo. Has any store replaced Maggiano's yet?

In my opinion, for a mall that hasn't been updated since 1985, I think the current owner's renovations surprisingly make the Woodbine Centre look even older.

Some recent photos of everyone's favourite mall: Photo credit: Rizwan M.A Hai Vacant lots and closing stores. A time-honoured tradition in the Woodbine Centre's later years. Photo credit: Rizwan M.A Hai I remember when the sun used to shine at the Woodbine Centre. Photo credit: Kafui...

I stopped into Albion Mall yesterday and noticed some more renovations taking place. What used to be "Your Dollar Store With More" along with Ardene have been boarded up. The rumours of a Dollarama taking up both spots seems more than likely. The boarded up stores heading towards the...

What a shame. All of the auction listings for Maggiano's and Woodbine Cinemas have finished. The listing mentions "All Theatre Eqpt Currently Under Power! SOLD TO THE BARE WALLS!". I truly feel Maggiano's would have been a hit with Rexdale and Woodbridge's Italian communities. The restaurant...

The first batch of photos around Martin Grove and the Rowntree areas were a big hit with the facebook group. 150 likes so far with about 30 comments. I'll get around to posting more of your photos shortly. Everyone loves the vintage car shots especially.

Using Photoshop's Autotone feature, I was able to edit your photo overlooking the old Esso and Guelph Gas Stations.

Amazing photos, Dan. Would you happen to have any of the Finch-Albion Centre or photos inside the Albion Mall from back in the day? I've been searching everywhere for more inside mall shots. You know, the strip mall that used to have Food City, General Distributing, Colour Your World,. etc?

You would love the Rexdale facebook group, too. Tons of photos and old friends to chat with. A few of your photos should be posted there soon for everyone to comment on. In case you'd like to check the group out: https://www.facebook.com/groups/Rexdale/about

Loving these photos. Keep 'em coming. My mom first moved to Rexdale back in 1972 and lived at Wellington Place Apartments at 1901 Martin Grove rd., Mom would use the payphones at Esso Gas Station until she got a home phone set up a short time after. Interestingly, I was planning to head down...

Thank you for the great photos, Dan. May I share these photos with the Rexdale Old Photos facebook group? I am sure a lot of people will love them there. We tend to get plenty of people commenting over there, too.
