Tough Times: Recession of The Early 1990s
Hazelton Lanes began to experience difficult times in the early 1990s with the recession that gripped Toronto and much of Canada. Many of the upscale stores in Hazelton Lanes closed their doors, and some of them moved to Bloor Street. One theory behind the many upscale store closures in Hazelton Lanes was the awkward design of the shopping centre, low ceilings, and poor-quality materials used in the construction of the new section. Currently, brick-work on parts of the complex's exterior are in disrepair.

“Sheriff, have you ever watched a friend dying before your eyes and not been able to help? That’s the worst of it. Being helpless. It’s particularly tough when you’re a physician and you know what’s wrong with him, and there isn’t a single solitary thing you or anyone else can do.”

“No doubt they rose up early to observe
The rite of May.”
