‘End of an era’: Tenants of Calgary’s Eau Claire Market, old and new, react to closure

[@melissalow9557]

What a waste. Hate that they are getting rid of the mall. Could have been a great place to revamp and renovate.

homeless rehabilitation / workshop for instance

The mall never reached our expectations of it when first built. It always felt like an unused facility to me. However, I don't see why similar retail space can't be part of the new C-train station.

[@billestew7535]

agreed

[@camblood9817]

I went there before. Nothing but a bunch of snobby people.

[@dennisaulayrobinson]

Closing a mall is not an end if an "era".

Sometimes I look at a business, and the revenues it’s supports and think, front for money laundering.

Ja that book lady looks shady alright

[@zeroconnect5910]

Whole mall went downhill after they shut down the arcade there in 2007.

[@billestew7535]

The arcade was cool

Why close? If green line is build in this area .

[@c-shepard]

Could have put the green line right through the mall. In Japan the green line goes straight through the Akihabara shopping complex, as a result it's the most successful retail location in the biggest city in the world. Proof that Calgary Liberal city officials don't care about a prosperous city, jobs or the bottom line.

[@billestew7535]

I think the rail line and the shopping complex were built at the same time weren't they?

[@FamilyCheung-kc1pw]

Calgary is not the biggest cities, we are second line of city in Canada
