It reminds me of the time in the mid-2000s when Tim Hortons opened at Jasper Ave and 107 St. There was so much excitement over this, all that was missing was a parade down Jasper Ave!
We've come a long long way since then, although ECC's pop-up board game store is a sign that we're slowly reverting back to 2005.

The Tim Hortons space was a financial institution for a long time and then empty for a while. I think having having Tim Hortons there was a great improvement over what was there before.

Yes, sadly it does seem like the last 5 years undid about 10 years of progress, but at this point that is like crying over spilled milk. It happened and we need to move forward, filling the space is progress.

What are some large format retailers that could take the Bay space?

I always thought it would work well for the Downtown Farmers Market, but then again they would likely only activate the space a couple of times a week.

Indoor market. Full stop. A proper market you see in many cities is sadly lacking here.

Roller rink!

Oh man... I used to know the girl who ran that place. Good times.

Pair that with the HK karaoke joint next door and you never had to leave.

Pardon my ignorance, but what exactly are the the differences between the markets in other cities and the markets we currently have (e.g. Old Strathcona Farmer's Market, Bountiful Market, etc)?

I think @Glenco is referring to places like LA's Grand Central Market which is open daily -- https://grandcentralmarket.com/ -- from 8:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. If you browse through the attached link you will get a sense of what he is referring to. It is certainly an event space and is packed with customers on a nearly continuous basis -- lots of individual experimentation going on; always interesting to visit. It does, however, require an intensive management effort.

I've always thought the Boardwalk building would be great for something like this.
