First, rah rah Rosewood. Happy to see positive spin-off of a much-maligned development. Ottawa Street North has done well by this power centre, on balance.
Not to detract from the point of this article, but Trey asks, "Why would one drive up the RHVP to go to basically the same power center. Or conversely why would anyone from 53 and 20 drive down the RHVP to visit the Barton Power Centre?"
Selection, maybe.
CENTRE: Zellers, Canadian Tire, Shoppers Drug Mart, Metro, Beer Store, LCBO, Staples, Dollarama
BARTON/CENTENNIAL: Future Shop, King's Buffet, Home Depot
EASTGATE: Fortinos, Homesense, Wal-Mart, LCBO, Sears, Shoppers Drug Mart, Moores, Jack Astor's
MEADOWLANDS EAST: Silver City, Indigo, Home Depot, Best Buy, Leon's, PetSmart, HockeyLife, Michael's (also, Carmen's Banquet Centre is next door)
There's some overlap, but not so much that you would have an easy time convincing me that they are "basically the same power center".
I understand that RTH regulars despise the RHVP and understand why people loathe power centres as a rule -- even though this disdain is often expressed *with utmost subtlety*. And I agree that there are rational reasons for holding this stance, but why pretend that the situation is something it isn't? Even in cases where a store is nominally the same, the stock can sometimes be different. (Or have you never gone to an LCBO outlet before?)
