End of Chapter One
What a shock, Chapters, the huge bookstore at Rockland shopping centre closed up. OMG.. It was the only English language bookstore near enough to the East End to be convenient for me. If there are three major English bookstores left in the city region now I'd be surprised. This will mean I will have to go all the way downtown or out to the West Island to buy a book.... bummer... I'm really ticked off about this. Rockland was the perfect place for me.. half way and the turning point between work and home, between the 15 and the 40... I could stop in afterwork and pick something up without even blinking... now it's going to be a big trip.
The stylist that cut my hair at Rockland... yes it does actually grow... said there was a new bookstore at Centre Laval but I'm 99% sure it would be a French bookstore. There's no sizable English population in Laval to support one and downtown Laval is almost totally French. Yes perhaps there will be a small section of foreign language books but that's exactly what it will be. The one at Rockland was huge with many choices...sigh... oh well.. What I should do is start reading French books I guess. It seems like it will come to that at some point anyway. C'est la vie.

I hope this is an isolated case for Chapter's. I too depend on a Chapter's location that is very close to home and it would be a shame if it closed shop. I would likely miss the Starbuck's too. :)
I'm told that the new owner's Indigo is closing down a lot of their Chapter's stores. At least that's the case here in Montreal. Kinda sad actually. I hope Indigo opens a new location nearby then.
