Lee Valley store question

Bruce, a MN Galoot


>I've never been lucky enough to be in a LV store, but that's about to be rectified. We're taking a trip to New England in 3 weeks, and we're passing through Toronto. Since I'll be able to visit only one store, which one is the best?

Thanks

Bruce, anticipating in MN.

>Hi Bruce,

I guess it depends on your travel plans. If you are staying in Toronto, particularly in the downtown area, the new store is the place to be. It really is a great old building. If you are simply driving through T.O., the Scarborough/Toronto East store will be the easiest to get to. Toronto West has some great displays and fantastic staff but is a little tougher to get to if you don't know the area. Whichever route you take, it's a pretty neat place. The only other store I've seen that has a similar feel is the Orvis Store in Vermont.

You might have a colored leaf or two by the time I get there, though :-)
