Located at Bay and Wellington, this building comprises a complete city block. Above ground it consists of two gigantic office buildings: the 51-storey Canada Trust Tower and its little brother, the 47-storey Bay-Wellington Tower, connected by the Galleria. At the Yonge and Front corner stands a shrine to hockey past and present, the Hockey Hall of Fame. The back exit from the Hall leads into the concourse level, which houses a full array of shops, a large food court and the PATH linking to the Wellington Tower. Review © 2007, Wcities |

 Quality high end bikes |
625 Queen St W (Near Bathurst) Toronto, ON M5V 2V7 Canada +1 416 504 6138 http://www.dukesonqueen.com/ |
With a legacy dating to 1914, this bike shop is a Queen Street West institution. But it doesn't rest on its laurels, maintaining a loyal clientele through excellent service and a selection of bikes (road and mountain) and components. If you are looking for a cheap ride, however, you're out of luck. The Duke's stock starts at about CAD500 and makes a steep climb uphill from there. The average is around CAD900-1,000, and top-end bikes will run from CAD2,500 up. Lines include Rocky Mountain, Trek, Specialized, Cannondale and Kona. Review © 2007, Wcities |

All-Canadian sports shop |
400 King St West (at Spadina Avenue) Toronto, ON M5V 1K2 Canada +1 416 340 2667 |
This Canadian chain was established in the 1970s in Vancouver. Back then the chain only targeted mountaineers, rock climbers, skiers and hikers; today the retailer has a multi-sport approach to gear and merchandise. The Toronto store opened in 1985 and moved to the 42,000 square foot downtown location between Spadina and Bathurst in 1998. The store not only guarantees quality products, it also maintains a strong commitment to the environment and the outdoor community. For a CAD5 membership fee, you can rent equipment and receive a free catalogue twice a year. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Adorned with original Asian artworks and a stage for live performances and special events, Pacific Mall and Pacific Heritage Town are also places to share and embrace the traditions of the thriving Asian community. - Melissa Nguyen Review © 2007, Wcities |
