Lime Ridge Mall

I didn't see a Lime Ridge Mall thread and I needed one to post renovation updates. This thread can be used for anything that has to do with Lime Ridge Mall.

To start this thread, here is a photo update of the renovations taking place at Lime Ridge (photo taken today by me):

I haven't been to Limebingo Mall in forevs. Is that around back, then?

I won't start taking an interest in the mall until they begin filling in that massive sea of asphalt with some sort of mixed use development.

This is in the front. On the corner of the mall in the foreground is where Old Navy used to be. I never knew Old Navy wasn't there anymore until today.

The store is still there, the sign on the front is gone though.

It almost looks like they might be trying to bring some stores to the front there with windows and entries into them, but I'm not sure. It would be a bit of an awkward setup with that sea of parking out front...

They're doing the same at Eastgate Square. Shopper's Drug Mart, Shoe Warehouse, and Jack Astor's already have their own entrances from outside. The new Urban Planet and another new restaurant will also have the same kind of entrances at Eastgate.

Found this picture on the Lime Ridge Mall website. I searched for a bigger
image, but couldn't find one. You can see the new design a bit:

I am still trying to figure out when Limeridge Mall became suburban, it's closer to downtown than the Centre on Barton. It may be a suburban style mall, but it is in the city.

Yeah, I also noticed the thread about City Motor Hotel was in suburbs, but I'm pretty sure that's Old Hamilton.

Hi Guys
Having been there recently I can answer a few things! First that section where Old Navy Used to have an exterior wall is going to become a restaurant called spring rolls!

Also the shops that were located in the central pods such and Second Cup and Cinnabonn as well as things engraves etc are going to be removed or have already been removed to go back to the open air feel! The entrance by old nave where you enter will have a large stair case with customer service behind it!

I personally wish they would bring back the original layout with the t fountain pools etc!

I'll try to get an update soon. I was going to yesterday, but it was busy and I didn't think anyone was that interested in the project so I didn't bother, lol

I haven't had a chance to try the food at Spring Rolls yet.

They have a takeout window into the mall but to dine in you have to enter the restaurant or patio from the outside.

The patio is long and narrow stretching along the parking lot. It's overhanged by a cantilevered section of the mall so it's not open to the sky. It looked claustrophobic and noisy with the cars driving right by.

Lime Ridge Mall renovation and relcad.

Can anyone help me? Does anyone have old images of Limeridge mall from the early 90s or 80s? Or even when the mall opened. I know Hamilton Central library had some clippings on when the mall opened...but I really want to see some colour photos of the old mall.

I would love to rekindle those memories of the poo-brown tiles, and the large central fountains and the smaller ones at either end.

So many memories of the old movie theatre too...

I would also love to see that! I loved the original outline for the mall! I really loved it when they had the giant snow flakes down the middle with various christmas displays and all the tiny mirrors the spun shooting beams of light all over. I also loved the giant Iceburg Santa Display.
