Toronto has a very nice mall right in the middle on the city on Younge, but if course Toronto has a much more vibrant downtown with a huge residential population.

Yeah, and I am trying to be careful about that--my point is not that downtown malls can never work, but rather that to my knowledge the ones that work tend to be anchored by local residents, office-workers, and so on. That is why I certainly think mini-malls can work in Downtown Pittsburgh, but not a mall of such scale that it would be relying on people to drive in.

If you're talking about the Eaton Centre, that place is a tourist destination all to itself, just like Station Square is to Pittsburgh or the Inner Harbor is to Baltimore. I can't say the same thing for Cleveland's mall or the City Center proposal for Pittsburgh.
