Yessir I do. Been there even. But in this day and age of marketing they'll slap "flagship" on the biggest store in a 50 mile radius if it brings people in. I was torn when they moved into the building they now call their flagship Denver store. It used to be a really cool railroad/transportation museum that I went to as a kid while in Colorado on vacation from my native Ohio. Unfortunately it feel into disrepair, was in a (then) rundown area, and ticket sales were glum. I was sad to see it close, but when REI moved in they really did a nice job of preserving the building. And now the entire area is upscale lofts, cafes, and boutiques. As always, an uneasy balance of "too bad some good mom and pop places closed, but at least it was not ALL bulldozed for a shopping mall." -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
