Wrongful Thinking About History

dewlineI was passing through the Rideau Centre en route to the ByMUG meeting - attending said meeting as I type this listening to a discussion about "cutting the cord" - and discovered that not only has the mall's management relocated the food court from level one to level two, specifically to where the ground floor of Eaton's - later Sears Canada - used to be...but they decided that - for reasons as yet unclear to me - Eaton Court, the hub section of the second floor in front of where Eaton used to be in the days when it was a charter tenant of the Rideau Centre, had to be renamed...to Nordstrom Court.
I have a cultural history problem with this choice. Regardless of how and why it happened. I believe it disrespectful of the history of the mall and of Canadian retail history in general.
Not going along with that, thanks!
PS: I'm still calling the football stadium "Lansdowne Park", too. TD-Canada Trust can just live with that bit of rebellion against their marketing plans and methods.
