I wish we had a used book store in the area. Only book store around here is a Borders.

The club pictured in my last post was at a Borders.  But I thought that all of the Borders stores had closed down nation-wide?

In any case, try approaching the manager with the idea of starting a chess club there.  You might be surprised to find enthusiastic support, as was the case for me in Cary, N.C.  If you do get a club going, remind the players to spend a little money on coffee and snacks, so that it's a win-win arrangement for all involved.

Sorry I meant Barnes and Noble, don't know why I wrote Borders. Spaced for a second a guess. Probably because I liked Borders better....

Floridians are afraid of gators?  C'mon man, just choot 'em and eat 'em wit' rice and hot sauce!  Enjoy a backyard cook out while you play da chess, put dem gators on a BBQ pit, in a deep fryer or in a big gumbo pot! Dat's how we roll in Cajun Country!

This would get a vote from me.

This would get a vote from me. And my vote as well! But with a large bottle of bug spray. Nothing works better to distract me than slapping mosquitoes constantly.
