I remember it was the mid 70's when I last worked at Sears. By then,
they had built the extension to the old, original building I had first
shopped in as a child. It was the extension more or less where Sobey's
now is. An escalator near the sewing department (whuich is where I
worked) linked the old and new parts with an optometrist on the
mezanine between the old and new sections. The bus stop was right
outside their door. By then, the mall was there. I used to spend my
lunch breaks in the food court. I remember there was a religious book
store just across from the food court. What I can't remember is what
was in the space currently occupied by the Bay or was there anything? 

I didn't live in Halifax from '73 to '75 so there may have been
something else there then.
