First off, I'm a library-going CBC radio listening... person (I don't really fit the rest of your description), and I kind of resent part of what you said. Only part of, because I only fit part of your description. But those people you speak of can continue shopping at Frog Hollow, or navigating the maze of shelves in JW Doull, but I wouldn't mind killing some time and picking up a few books in a Chapters on SGR, and I'm sure a lot of people would join me.

As I'm sure you know, the Johnston building which houses the province's board rooms (and other offices) used to be an Eatons; would be nice to have a department store back in it, since it would be not only an ideal fit, but the building just looks like a department store.
