Vancouver-area store re-opening

So, two years after closing their Richmond store,

and 8 months after closing both the Surrey and Metrotown ones, which I think were both bunkers,

and thus leaving the Greater Vancouver area with just one teeny-weeny store on the north shore, meaning you have to navigate the worst bridge by far traffic-wise to get there,

(or just stick with your friendly LGS Very Happy

)

Canada's 3rd-largest and most recession-proof city finally gets a second GW store in .......

[drum roll]

....... Highgate Mall in Burnaby confused

. With "three gaming tables and multiple staff". OMG *squeal of delight*!!! It's bad enough even for people with cars, but everyone else - mostly kids - will have either a 20-minute walk uphill from Skytrain (in the West Coast rain) or a luv'ly bus ride along Kingsway from transit hubs far away.

Another kick in the groin for the (quite healthy) local gaming market.

All together now,

"Meh!"

Dude,

The NY metro area went from like 5-6 stores spread out over Manhattan and the suburbs down to 1 small store on the lower east side of Manhattan. If I wanted to go to it I would have to drive 2 hours pay $8-10 in tolls and $30 in parking just to get there.

Then the store, which is about the size of a closet, has three tables that are always full and a staff that couldn't figure out their butt from their elbow.

TL;DR - I know how you feel.
