Hello people out there in the cyber world. Hopefully everyones lives have been well for the past week or so. I come today to discuss local stores. I was out and about the other night exploring the places I frequent so unwillingly when something glorious happened. I came across a family owned table-top-RPG and gaming store. Now I know most of you are sarcastically shaking your hands in front of your face going oooo-ooo-oooo like a sick phantom, but that kind of thing is rare around here. You see it's more significant than you may think. I, for one, am burnt out on only seeing videogame stores and card shops, not that they do nothing for me because if I said that I'd be lying. I love my videogames, and my comics, but boy oh boy an entire store dedicated to nothing but board games and table top roleplaying. Very very amazingly cool. It was funny how it all happened, I seen the sign for the store parked my car and stared for a few minutes as a gentleman in a statue of liberty costume walked past me, as you can guess it's close to tax time and liberty is more than willing to send teenagers to the street corners. I looked towards the game stores door and saw a closed sign but luck was on my side, all the lights were still on, so in high hopes I wandered to the door giving it a small tug as my hopes crashed down against the lock. BUT, fate had it that the gentleman that owns the shop actually DID happen to be there and didn't actually mind letting me in to scout around a bit. You see not only did he let me explore freely but he also talked to me the entire time I was there, very polite, and very intriguing. He was able to catch quickly why I was there and what games I might enjoy and I hung out in there checking out potentially new hobbies for myself for close to 45 minutes. So the lesson of this week's blog would be...Explore more, support local business, and check out this gentleman's shop! Gateway Game Facebook or go to Their Website. Please if you are nerdy at all, enjoy a good conversation, and a great atmosphere, this is it!
Cheers Xx
