It was never the same when they switched from Virgin to HMV. Still a must to pop in when you're downtown.
Guess we'll have to keep watch, in hopes that they firesale all their inventory before they close down. Good excuse to fill out the music collection a bit more  | |

If its an apple store than that's funny. iTunes and piracy probably put them out of business. Posted via RS Mobile | |

Target seems far-fetched to me, unless you guys are talking about a different chain than that down in the states. Target is for cheap crap and as such usually is located in Walmart type areas. A far cry from Robson street.

UNIQLO 
Please open a store here, Uniqlo...I can't imagine a better store to have there other than maybe Muji.
Yes, I think an Apple Store at that location would be awesome as well but I'd never go there. It's not like Apple Stores have different inventory and I have one way closer to where I live already. However, Apple Stores are just architecturally spectacular (even if they all look the same) and with primetime location like that, they'd do something special, I'm sure. That corner would instantly become a landmark and attract bigger business nearby.
BUT STILL...Uniqlo please.

Speaking of Georgia Viaduct, you guys ever hear of Hogan's Alley? A neighbourhood that was inhabited by the African community that was bulldozed to make way for the existing Georgia Viaduct.
