Actually the mall isn't too far away from being that lol. I think that's why he moved his shop outside of the mall and behind a subway and a gas station.
Actually, now that I describe it, it sounds like a pretty sketchy place. I won't lie, that area is a little rough for wear. But the shop is safe. Just watch out, Ed looks like a drunk. Somebody needs to tell him to iron his shirts and comb his hair.

He should set up a chess table at Highland Park! Later on, he could befriend the doctors and nurses working to keep him alive.

I've been there a couple of times. Alittle rough looking but nice people. Great selection of chess books. Never played there (too intimidated). Never met Ed. They do have a number of tourneys there each month...maybe it's time to go to an open/unrated one though and see had much I need to learn.
Anyone in the Detroit area...let's game! =) QUOTE
