Winnipeg - Polo Park Shopping Centre Christmas commercial (1979)

[MsMrchips]

I remember The World of Cheese, Strain's Cameras, Kresges, the Fountain...

[khal007]

Polo park used to have a wicked bowling alley and arcade.

[khal007]

Does anyone have a video of Kreskies. (sp?)

[ReedSolomon]

I'd trade it all if we could only have world of cheese back.

[likethepear]

What the hell did mushrooms have to do with Christmas? Oh, wait...nevermind...it was the '70's. Got it.

[likethepear]

World of Cheese? lol, I'M SO THERE!!!

[Jnhjm]

I remember the old Polo Park, before the second floor was added in 1986 (Eatons and Sears were the only stores with more floors). It was kind of dingy and poorly lit, and a lot of the mall surfaces were unfinished concrete. Still, it had some good stores. The renovated mall always struck me as too flashy.

[HalleJem]

[jonkaho]

is Fairweather in the same location inside the mall? is the mushroom slide where Safeway is located?

[RetroWinnipeg]

I can't answer any questions about the mall's former layout, but that slide was next to the Simpsons-Sears mall entrance.

[jonkaho]

any of these stores still exist?

[RetroWinnipeg]

Fairweather and Sears.

[SHMUJEW]

I was syill in Winnipeg in 1979 -- brings back memories of COLD winters. I guess that's why I now live in California. Anyway a little bit of winter is fun & to some extent I miss it,

[X031]

I remember as we used to drive in from Portage for Christmas shopping and going to the orthodontist.There was a pancake house there also?Fun driving from Portage to Winnipeg in heavy snow...lol.Winters here now in southern Ont are kinds whimpy compared to out there ;)

[Canuck204]

I wasn't around during that time but I do remember when Polo Park expanded to two floors I think in the late 1980's

[RailroadJerk]

I was only 4 at the time , but I kinda remember some of those places!

[benjaminrowley78]

Any mall that has a mushroom slide rocks

[likecards]

Sorry I was just a little girl then. Polo Park had a world of Cheese??!! That sounds cool.

[tvlondon]

No mall is complete without a mushroom slide.
