I used to live around Rathburn and Mavis. I've been back a couple of times since I moved here, and yes....I've noticed how big Mississauga has become. It's crazy seeing how residential land has taken over the open fields I remembered from back in the day.
My fondest memory of Mississauga: Getting shot while playing tennis in the park with my friends. If you head east on Rathburn from Mavis towards Square One, the first 2 condos on the right have tennis courts in front. That's where some random nutcase from the high-rises decided to use us as target practice with a scoped .22 rifle. As we booked it on our bikes, I was hit in the leg....ouch
