They have tried to update the store over the years in some areas but the 3rd floor upwards leaves a lot to be desired. It is a FAR cry from the fabulous Henry Morgan & Co. (Morgans) that is the original dept store in that building. This is actually great news as Lord and Taylor is well aware that this little piece of real estate on arguably the country's most vibrant and busiest commercial artery. (I'm sorry, TO has nothing close to comparing to Ste Catherine street). Hopefully that red sand stone building will get some much needed TLC and get a total rebranding from the RC to the restaurant. This is a very special building and spot on Ste Cath. Phillips Square used to be our version of Times Square - the most important public square in the city surrounded by electronic billboards.

But I have to say, the state of the Bay is so wretched at this point, I'd be happy to see any good management, wherever it has to come from... Fascinating news, D.
