[edit] History
A Myer store originally extended from Queen Street to Adelaide Street, from the early 1900's, before The Myer Centre shopping complex opened in March 1988.
The area where the cinemas now are was originally used as a fun park called 'tops'. It was closed down and demolished in the late 1990's, with the fun park parts sold off. The fun park comprised of various small shops, an amusement centre, a 'swing ship', a 'dragon train' and a 'ferris wheel'. When the theme park was operating, screams of excitement and terror could be heard from the patrons of both the swing ship and the dragon train.
