Victoria Stores?
 
Going to Victoria later today. Is there any stores worth going to while there? I would like to grab some new T5's. Would like to stop at J&L or others but will be towing a big race car trailer and too hard to maneuver.

Blue World Aquariums is a good one to stop at. They're on Hillside Road, I don't know about parking for your trailer though, the parking lot is a bit tight.

Progressive Reef is on the old island highway. Its a bit out of the way but definitely worth the trip and parking might be easier.

Don't know where you're heading from but I assume that you know J & L is in Burnaby on Brighton. Anyways hope you enjoy your Victoria visit.:)

Thanks Christy. Parking won't be a problem as once in Victoria the trailer will be at the race track. Hopefully there will be time before the action starts.

I really like the two already mentioned. Sometimes Safari has some nice pieces too. Its in the strip mall beside Future Shop so its pretty easy to find.

I tried to use my GPS to find Progressive and it was a no-go. For some reason, the address directed me somewhere completely differently. I've tried finding the place a few times now but never had any luck.

Blue World is a nice little store. Keeps getting better too!

I plugged their address into google maps and it shows pretty much the exact location. If you look at the street view you can see the Speedee Glass that is part of the same strip mall.

I will try that on my Blackberry next time I'm in Victoria.

Hey it was nice to meet you as well. Really nice store and wished I had a little more time to look around. The T5 combo you picked out for me turned out really nice. Just what I wanted with the popping colors. Thank you. Nice surprise to see a store selling small colonies for the price of some other stores frags.
