"Say what you will about our Canadian big box bookstore and the fall of the indie outlets, this is a fantastic place to wait for a friend if he or she is running late. \n\nVIBE\nBook-ish. Starbucks on the second floor, which you'll never get a seat at. Not as homey as it used to be. \n\nTHE GOODS\nI like this location for its selection of design tomes (no problem getting Design Sponge here as opposed to Book City). I really really like this location for its selection of greeting cards and specifically thank you cards (it can be hard to find them). Plus, they have a great selection of notebooks on the back wall near the magazines. \n\nThe travel section is pretty good but small. I like their magazine layout. I am always picking up a travel book or mag here and both are close by. \n\nThe children's section is cute. \n\nNot so great: the business section. It's ok. Or maybe they just don't like Sally Hogshead because it took me forever and a day to get this book from Chapters/Indigo. \n\nOBLIGATORY CATCHY REMARK\nIt's weird that this location is so big yet somewhat homey. I do manage to spend quite a bit of time in here. Or maybe my friends are just always late? (Kidding!)"^^ . . . . "0"^^ . "4"^^ . "0"^^ . "2012-03-04T00:00:00"^^ . "0"^^ .
