new saltwater store in town

[Delphinus]

Forgot to mention, I did pop by briefly to Ocean City last night since I found myself in the north anyhow.

They are in that little shopping mall just west of Centre street (next to that cultural-centre/mall/restaurant-centre thing) on the south side of 16th. About as far west of Centre St as Wai's is east of Centre St (if that makes any sense). A little bit smaller than the older location. Everything had that "brand new tank" almost-sterile look to it, but there are fish and corals for sale now.

Their sign says their website is: oceancity.ca although when I go there it's just a "coming soon" type page.

The problem with going to the "north stores" is that I was completley spoiled having Ba's down the hill from me, so driving more than 2 blocks sucks.

Not to mention that in a city of a million people who's infrastructure was outdated in the 80's, driving anywhere sucks. Especially the NW end? Its not like the south. North and south aren't north and south, the sun doesn't rise in the east or settle in the west. It's like Wonderland or Oz or something.

What the hell am I going to do when I move to High River?

fyi-

I was in tanks alot- under paws petfood( corner of heritage ans elbow drive)
yesterday and was talking to jefff the new fish manager down there and he is just starting to carry salt water . he is planning on getting more dry goods, salt mixes and live rock and some inverts.
He just has a few fish right now( clowns, damsels) forsale.

He is still looking for a few suppliers so it just a start but aleast there is something closer to me and tony!!!! hahaa

Where's he going to put it all?

Haha, I understand the frustration. It never hurts to have a good LFS open close to home.

Whenever I plan to pop by Gold's, I make sure it's between 11 - 3pm on a weekday, just to avoid the rush. But since I don't have a career job where I have to be at work from 9-5, it is obviously much harder for other people to do what I do.

Is the traffic bad on the weekends? The flow seems normal enough to ensure a timely trip, which leaves excuses for familial obligations.

Its not the traffic thats bad its all the porn stores that you have to stop by to get to golds. Really adds up to be a tough day!
