Didn't the Montreal Eaton Centre get redone back in 2005? It seems to have undergone at least 3 major overhauls since opening. Anyone remember what was there before? Les Terrasses? ("Better on every level!")




Les Terrasses had the weirdest layout, many different partial levels, all color coded. It felt as if you were in a weird video game, where if you walked too far, you would fall off the RED level and land on the YELLOW level.

The Montreal Eaton Center was originally Les Terrasses, which officially opened in 1976 and closed in 1987.

The Mall layout was a triangular spiral, with gradually rising interconnected floors, approximately 45 feet high in total. At each point of the triangle, patrons could walk to the top of the mall. It housed 140 stores, and earh store faced the center of the triangle.
