Nah, Bi-Way closed down before the whole And 1 era. You're probably thinking about Zellers.
People who know about the "Hot air balloons" in front of Simpsons (the Bay) and Eatons (Sears) at STC are really showing their age (me included) LOL

I remember those bro! LOL. I live in Pickering as well and remember when the mall had Zellers with a restaurant in it and the arcade when I was a young pre teen. Miss those simpler times...
Sneakers are definitely a hobby that still brings me back to my past and I love getting that nostalgia of picking up a pair you wanted back in the day.

Who remembers when the Pickering Flea Market was actually on Brock Road in the same plaza that the Wal Mart is in? Now that's old school...

The guys that Owned Heavens aka Heavens Uptown aka Ugly Dukkling aka BLKOUT Inc used to have a spot in there (end of the aisle behind the stand that sold Candy Apples).
If we're going to talk about Flea Markets, how about the Downtown where HMV is now? I used to cop Beadies from there $1.00 for a pack of 25 LMAO.

POGS!!!
Had some extra dope slammers...
Random fact: I was a POG competition finalist at Ontario Place but I couldn't compete because I had to fly back home to Winnipeg for a wedding the following weekend.
I have an official POG slammer with my picture on it.

Damn #TBT indeed up in here! Saw all the new posts and thought I missed the 306 restocking every 1 cw and OVOs or something.
Knobhill & Highland Farms (both those places smelled bad), Bargain Harolds, Bi-Way, Consumers...who else remembers Toy City? And when sports cards and comic shows were everywhere from convention centres to Bridlewood Mall

How about DOLLYs in Woodside Square for all your sports cards needs LOL
I remember my dad took me to a Card show in Markham (Valhalla Inn) and he copped me a box of O Pee Chee Premier Hockey Cards (lucked out and got a Pavel Bure rookie card) and Upper Deck Basketball..
DAMN IM OLD LMFAO!!!!!!

Dude, that is cool as hell. I remember playing with them in my grandmother's apartment in Scarborough...those were the days, when STC was smaller than the YMCA in the back hahaha.
As some have pointed out earlier, it's crazy that sneakers are able to bring us back to moments in our lives that we'll never forget.
P.S. Any way we can see that custom slammer?

When I hear "POGS" I can't help but think of this
STC had that tiny theatre where EVERYONE would make the EXACT SAME joke when they walked in and saw that dinky *** screen: "My TV is bigger than this!"

pogs? I still have the first slammer (#1) maybe worth something? [emoji]128514[/emoji][emoji]128514[/emoji]
I do recall FV in white & green and it wasnt an "L" shaped mall but triangular shaped ie when you walk into the mall from bay you could go straight or left into a diagonal pathway taking you to roughly where little burgundy is now
I also recall STC before the cineplex/old navy/indigo (now forever 21) addition. FL used to be on 2nd floor just past central escalators. picked up dunk hi's in college colors there for $39.99
someone said consumers distribution? those catalogs were equivalent of eastbay catalogs in childhood. when one came in the mail you'd scan it in advance for a bday or xmas
for the markham heads, recall markville mall with the running river along the mall?

stoxx was related to XTC and all those "hood" clothing stores, didnt know the exact relationship but they were partners in crime. fakes? yep. XTC carried fape in malvern. for a while stoxx put out their own crap too. someone from the store gave me a headband.
High5 was the jersey store?
