We only went there once, but in my ECS yearbook, I put "going to Easy Street" as my favourite thing to do as a family lol.

They could've been said already, but I haven't read every page.... I obviously stopped and got really excite once I saw Easy Street, but also the movie theater at South Centre, and the arcade in the bottom corner of South Centre. I vaguely remember a petting zoo in Deer Valley Mall once in a while.

What was the Drive-In that got burned down during the Hub Oil fire? Is that the Corral 4? I was pretty young when I went there, and don't remember. I do remember watching Halloween H20 there though, and that they played "Hand In My Pocket" by Alanis Morisette over and over and over while waiting for the movie to start.
Ahh the ECS yearbook. A couple things I remember from mine are:

When asked what your parents did while you were at school, one friend replied "My dad plays in bands and my mom plays computer games".

Another question asked what you would wish for if you had one wish. My friend replied "I would put lots of fluoride in the water so all the people in Calgary can have nice healthy teeth."

The two replies of mine that I remember were: My dream job was to play for the Flames, and I thought the most money in the world was "infinity dollars".

Edit: The Southcentre theatre is where I first saw Toy Story. And ya, the Wizard's Castle downstairs, and the pet store right beside it with the fish pond at the entrance. Good times.
