Do you know of a great FLGS?

A great store. You beat me to it.

Yeah, the only thing I miss about South Carolina.

Added L'Valet d'Coeur, Montreal. Seems like the list is growing pretty rapidly!

 

[Steel_Wind]

Added the three Hairy Ts, 401 Games, Dueling Grounds, Crossed Swords and The Comic Warehouse in the Toronto area. Not sure if all of the Hairy Ts have shown up yet.

Toronto seems to have a disproportionate share of game stores!

You kidding? I left out half a dozen more! 5.5 million people in the GTA and several large universities = lots of gamers. As I have mentioned in other posts though, the Internet didn't hit traditional specialty retail in Canada nearly as bad as it hit the bottom line in the USA. Sales taxes are collected on all online sales in Canada, shipping from the USA to Canada is far more expensive too and the post office adds a $5 handling fee. All of this means that when it comes to the FLGS - it's still 1995 in Canada.

One of the things that I miss from Canada is the strong set of clean, helpful and well stocked gaming stores. I have a lot of good memories of L'Valet d'Coeur (Montreal) and Hill City Comics (Thunder Bay, Ontario), to give two examples of good stores (in very different places).

Added Black Sun Games in Chicago. Great gaming store only about 17 minutes from downtown Chicago.

Added Both Dragons Lair stores in and around Omaha Nebraska, the Omaha store and the Millard branch.

 

[On Puget Sound]

Added Above Board Games in Fort Mill SC (just south of Charlotte NC).

Added my FLGS from when I was in Davis lo these many years past.
