I remember as a kid, Richmond Square (now Richmond Centre) was a dumpy mall, with Fields and Zellers as some of their landmark stores...getting malts at the Little Drummer Boy stall in there was a treat that my mom would sometimes let me have or the Orange Julius just outside the Field's store there.
The Bamboo Grove used to be a small dining room and coffee shop, not the Chinese restaurant. Also, Sea Harbour on No.3 used to be some tiny Chinese restaurant with a small take out window on the side. Where Daimasu is was a tiny Honda dealership..where you could buy lawnmowers and an Accord hatchback.
Richmond sure did grow up.
