I don't believe there's a cinema, no. We have Reel Downtown that plays movies on the side of a building on Water Street during the summer but it's not current movies. There is an old porn theatre but I think that building is slated to be condos. Hasn't been a cinema for decades in any event.
University is awful to walk around and, yes, surrounded by suburbia. Much of it streetcar suburbia but still.
No downtown department store. Or close, really. Lots of clothing and houseware stores and the like but not under one roof.
Public transit is another strike. Walking, driving, or taking a cab are the only realistic, timely options. I can walk to the mall (30-40 mins) faster than the advertised bus routes from my street.
