20 years on and I think it is fairly safe to say the Eatons's Centre, now Bay Centre, has not been beneficial for downtown. The closure of Broad Street has severely cut off the natural flow north and south for much of downtown.
I think having the passport office on the top floor is a plus for the food court and is more inviting than lining up outside.
I often continue along Broad Street by walking in one of the entrances and exiting on the other side of the Bay Centre.

It is my DREAM to get into the Janion, I've wanted to ever since I was little. I'm obsessed with that building, staying up late researching it and everything. I wish someone could help me get in.Yes.

A group of urban adventurers have actually managed to get into the building but I can't recall how they did so and where the info on their adventure is posted. I seem to recall that it was mentioned here on the forum and perhaps the right search terms will bring up that info (I just spent a little while lurking about but couldn't find anything).
Know it all.

As it's impractical and dangerous for everyone to tour the building before it is gutted, I sincerely hope that someone is able make a high-definition video tour of the entire building. Even in its decrepit state, the interior is a rare glimpse into an lost age.
I don't care how dangerous it is, I want into the Janion (And have for YEARS) and need someone to help.

There is an area at the back of Janion which used to have planks covering it so you could not get in. But they're gone now, and if we had a small ladder we could EASILY get inside.
And post pics!
