Okay, so I dug this one out of the past, but was out of my doctor's office today and dropped by All Star Games in Diamond because I almost never get out that way anyway. The store is closing! :( I'm sure that's been reported elsewhere on ENWorld but I did a quick search and couldn't find anything.

The guy at the counter told me that Carol had died two years ago. I had no idea - I don't really think she was that old. Her brother used to work with my dad. Does anyone know what happened to her?

On a lighter note, if anyone in the LA Area is looking for some good discounts on games, head on out to the 909 and give All Star some business. WotC d20 stuff is 20% off and 3rd Party d20 stuff is 25% off. They also have a ton of out-of-print stuff (issues of Dragon magazine going all the way back to issue #6, a bunch of Spelljammer stuff, GURPS, Champions, Heroes, d6 Star Wars, you-name-it) and of course minis and also board games. Most of the brand new stuff is gone, but if you're looking to pick up anything else, there's a good chance they have it. They've even got quite a bit of 1st and 2nd Edition stuff.

That is indeed sad. I used to live in Diamond Bar and frequented the store. I am there now and then and thought of stopping by. I had better do it soon!

Just thought I'd chime in (I normally don't come round these parts) - Carol died after a battle with cancer and several months later Dave Turrieta died of an apparent stroke. Both of them are sorely missed and, IMHO, the store was never the same. Unfortunately, because of the change in the atmosphere and management of the store I just ceased going in there (and apparently many others did as well).
