That Sundance Mall. There is still the tiny tiny sports card shop down there. Was a bar down there as well but not so sure anymore, along with a revolving door of stores over the last couple decades.
Sketchy may not be the right word, but dark and dated for sure.
Many of those buildings have basements that were functional because they needed to be to utilize space, and newer development or redevelopment just wasn't and isn't allowed on that part of Banff Ave. So to with the malls that stretch from Banff Ave all the way back to the back alley as well. There's a couple bars no longer around that are in basements. The 5 ft high ceilings in the basement of the Bay, etc.
