Can someone mention something about that fountain? I always thought it was special --Madchester 05:25, 2005 Mar 4 (UTC)
The Terauley Street (an east-west street, parallel and south to Dundas) that was closed in the 1970s to make way for the Eaton Centre is NOT the same Terauley Street that extended north-south from Queen to Grenville and was renamed Bay Street (I believe in the 1930s). The east-west Terauley connected Bay to Yonge and exited onto the west side of Yonge to the south of where Dundas Square (the street) is today on the other side of Yonge (in fact, Terauley cut through what is now the Sears store). It is possible that the east-west Terauley was renamed Terauley when the much longer north-south Terauley became part of Bay Street. Skeezix100011:49, 27 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Any thoughts on whether the Eaton Centre Marriott is officially part of the complex? In other words, does Cadillac Fairview have an ownership stake in the hotel? The name of the hotel itself is, arguably, not enough to deem it part of the centre. There certainly is no public connection between the two buildings (although they are physically attached, but as are many unrelated downtown buildings) -- you have to walk outside to go from the Eaton Centre to the Marriott. The Eaton Centre website does not show the hotel as part of the centre. Right now, I've left a reference in the article to the two being "attached", unless someone has better information.

- There is a indoor connection to the Marriott on level 2 of Sears.
Despite the suggestion that it doesn't rate above the CN Tower, the Eaton Centre is the city's top tourist attraction in terms of the number of visitors. From a qualitative perspective, I guess every single tourist has their own view of what constitutes the "top" attraction in their mind. I've clarified the reference.

Anchors
Not sure where the number of 3 anchors (in the infobox) came from. Sears is one, and what else? The Bay is not part of the Eaton Centre. The notion of the shopping mall "anchor" is a bit of outmoded concept in any event, in the age of the category-killer stores. Skeezix100000:05, 26 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Why is there a Toronto Eaton Centre and a Eaton Centre (Toronto) entry. They're almost identical, except the Eaton Centre (Toronto) has the square footages of the major stores and anchors. They should really be merged.
When malls are first built, the developer looks for the firts big tenants and grant them huge discounts and rights to exclude competitors. These are anchor tenants.
Quality assessment
I have given this article an initial quality assessment of "Start". Its content is reasonably good, but the formats of its inline citations should be changed (use the ref tags) and increased. PKT (talk) 13:19, 25 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
