I'm pretty sad about this. The Canadian retail landscape gets more boring by the day. Amazon is great but sometimes you just want to go out and browse for things. HMV always had a random selection of weird geekery and carried movies and music to flip through that no other physical stores still do. Walked into the new concept Best Buy in Deerfoot meadows and it's basically converted into an appliance shop with only a tiny selection of movies and games.
HMV and Target were two of the places I used to wander to when bored. I guess I could still go to London Drugs to browse records late at night.
