[QUOTE="LightPhoenix, post: 3415382, member: 115"] First off, sorry for not keeping up on this thread... it's been a hectic couple of days. Thank god for the weekend! :) Well, I've been out of the gaming scene here for a while, so it was news to me. Still makes me sad. I can't say that I've even been to AS for at least a year... it's been on my list of things to do, and kept getting put off. I was taken aback, since as others have said, it really is the only gaming store in Syracuse. Well, not according to the guys I talked to, both of whom I know have worked there quite a while. Heck, I recognized them from the old locale, which was why I asked in the first place. They both said that the guy who bought the building did not want them there, something happened, probably during contract negotiation (ie, owner asked for a rediculously high rent), and they were forced to move. That and the size of the place they had before, and I'm sure it was more expensive than Carousel, when they moved. Also, and I'm not sure how it is at the new store, but they also said that they had been running a lot less of the in-store gaming events at the old store. I assumed that impacted it as well. Finally, I don't see how they can have everything they had before - the size disparity is too great. The on-shelf stock wouldn't fit in the new store, without it being cramped - which it wasn't. Actually, I'll say this, it was very nicely upkept, just like the old place. They might have a bunch of stuff sitting in storage... but that's not on the shelf and thusly not moving. All that said, they could have told that to me just to get me to stop talking to them. I'm not above thinking people might brush me off. ;) Yeah, from what I understand there were personal issues, and while I have some idea of what happened I hardly am a definitive source, so I'll leave it at that. I also seem to vaguely recall the store you're talking about, but I don't think it lasted long. [/QUOTE]
