A move for the better

Tall Tales Books (http://talltalesbooks.ca/) has moved. This is the really, "The Little Book Store That Could".

I previously wrote about the store's "Hero Society". This is an innovative subscription service where customer can pay $10.00 per month an build up a credit balance with the store. The funds can be redeemed at any time. Most book stores do a disproportionate share of their sales at Christmas time and these regular payments really help the store to manage its cash flow. My daughter and I have both signed up and I use my saving to buy books for her Christmas and birthday presents.

It initially opened on Fort Street in downtown Victoria, but after three years has moved out to Oak Bay. It is sharing a space with The Story Studio (http://www.storystudio.ca/). (The Story Studio is dedicated to coaching youth through the writing process, enabling them to experience success as authors and strengthen their ability to write in their own voice.)

Moving from a downtown location with limited parking to more driver and child-friendly environs of Oak Bay makes a lot of sense.

It just goes to show that the old real estate maxim really is true.

What are the three most important things in real estate? "Location, Location, Location".
