[QUOTE="R_J_K75, post: 7999097, member: 6921294"] I've seen a lot of bad things go down in bars so I salute your desire to steer your kids away from that part of society. I can say that some of my fondness memories as a child was in comic and game stores as a child. I remember buying Sider-Man 252 in 1985 at Queen City Books in Buffalo, which last I checked is still around, The other which was this three story store in Toronto ON called the Silver Snail. My mother dated a lounge singer in the Royal Yorke Hotel on Front Street and my brothers and I would walk from there to Queen Street, probably a good half mile to a mile to get there. The sights and smells for a 10 year old kid were so amazing. I can still remember the anticipation walking in the door to see which comics were new that week Secret Wars, GI Joe and I'm pretty sure the 3rd floor was RPGs. Well worth instilling that in the next generation, memories that will last a lifetime. EDIT: ...buying Sider-Man 252 in 1985 at Queen City Books in Buffalo... My father used to take us there every month to get comics. [/QUOTE]
