My Toronto - Eaton Centre



This photo was taken last year at the Eaton Centre. Obviously it was shot around Christmastime. The tree in the picture is decorated with Swarovski Crystals. They've been doing it for the past few years.

The Eaton Centre is a large shopping mall in the heart of downtown Toronto. Built in two stages in the late 1970's, it's located on Yonge Street, stretching one city block from Queen Street in the south to Dundas Street in the north.

There are 230 different stores and restaurants located on it's four levels. As well there are offices and parking on other levels.

The glassed-domed galleria was modeled after Milan's Galleria Vittorio Emanuele, by the centre's architect, Ed Zeidler. Suspended from the galleria is a model of a flock of Canadian geese designed by artist Michael Snow.
