Of Days Gone By

If you’re a traditional gamer (i.e. board/card/rpg/miniatures), then you’ve at some point in your life probably been connected to the local neighborhood or hometown game store.  And like me, you probably have tons of memories from that place, friends you made, and epic moments in gaming you will never forget. 

Sadly, brick and mortar game shops are a dying breed.  Many more close than open each year, and those that do open really struggle.  Many of them do not stay in business more than a year or two.  But some have been in business a long time, serving a generation of youth the gaming cuisine they desired while providing a place to connect and have fun.

So it’s in the vein of nostalgia, of rememberance, and possibly a little reverence, that I point you to an absolutely great article by Kendricke on this subject.  He wrote it so well that I need merely link  you to it.  Read about days gone by…days that may never come again.
