[Coco] [Color Computer] Re: Sad News For Canadian's

[Glen VanDenBiggelaar]

We never had a Circut City here in Edmonton, but you are right, it just 
looks like another Future Shop/Best Buy store. But it is still sad to see 
them go, they were an institution when I was growing up. How many times my 
Mom was shopping at Safeway, and we (me and my brother) ditched her to go 
see what was new at the Shack.


( in Canada or here in Alberta, there was always a Radio Shack within 200 
yards of a Safeway. I think it was law that all Shopping malls were set up 
this way) :)
