Comics/Ottawa: A Very Pleasant Surprise!

[dewline]

Some of you may recall that the Comic Book Shoppe's Centretown store had been forced to relocate from a previous address further south on Bank Street a year or two ago due to a fire elsewhere on the block.

What I did NOT know was that they had moved into the old Prospero Books space on Bank and Slater until doing an unrelated Google Maps postal code search tonight! Excellent matching of tenant to location there! I hope they get to stay in that space for many years to come!

Yes, that's right. Actually I discovered that that was the new location of the Comic Book Shoppe as a result of a comment from you! I wrote that I had picked up a free comic book on Comic Book Day from a box of them on a table outside Prospero and you replied ( that you thought Prospero had closed (and of course you were quite right). So that's when I looked into it and found that that was the new location for the downtown Comic Book Shoppe.

Last time I was downtown, I did also notice a couple of fannish places farther south on Bank Street that also stock comics.

The new location is definitely better for access via O-Train. Had the old Transitway routings still been effect when they moved in, it might have been better still for them. Even so, I consider the new location an improvement.
