St. Vital Centre in 1986

From the air in 1986. St. Vital Centre after being built in 1979. The anchor stores were Eaton's, The Bay, Woolco and Safeway. Corrected from 1979 listed date earlier. In the middle of the picture the add on of the movie theatres was completed. And as noted by a reader, Pizza Hut came to Winnipeg in 1986. That location has since closed.

This isn't 1979.

I see a Pizza Hut in the strip mall (chain entered Winnipeg c. 1986), as well as a Petro-Canada, which only began operating gas stations until 1980.

Made the change. It was listed elsewhere as that date. I should have looked at my own notes because it is obvious the first Silver City was added on there in 1986 and is clearly visible.
