Square One Shopping Centre

I don't get the hype around them? They are so expensive! If you're downtown and you want a pricey gourmet burger, you have lots of independent burger joints to pick from that are way better than Shake Shack!

I ate at the original location in NYC years ago, and even back then I wasn't all that impressed by the burger. 🤷‍♂️
It's cheaper than Five Guys a couple doors down from them.

Honestly the influx of US fastfood and casual dining chain is broadly underwhelming - but I guess the insta crowd digs them.

I'm not sure exactly when it was built, because when the lower level initially opened, that section where the escalators are was blocked off with hoarding.

I went there recently...it's pretty good to avoid traffic from the main escalators...
 
Was just looking at the latest leasing plan, and it lists "Freemantle Entertainment" on the former Playdium site.

Anyone know what this is exactly? Googling it mostly gives me results for Fremantle, the British television production company. Doesn't really seem like a place to open a studio, so I have my doubts that that's the Freemantle being referred to here (especially with the spelling, I doubt Oxford would misspell the name of the company, but the name is similar). Clearly my Googling skills are not up to par because I'm coming up blank, and I'm not in the country at the moment to walk by and have a look myself.

Is it still open as Get Your Game On? That was by a British based company so it's possible it could be the same.
