Where are the good stores?

I am wondering which of the stores in Calgary are worth a visit as I pass through later in the week. Please include addresses on responses.

Wai's Aquarium, Bay 4, 222, 16th Avenue NE, some nice stuff to look at, leave your checkbook at home. It's across from Peter's Drive-In.

Golds Aquarium Bay J, 4710 17th Ave. S.E.

Dennis has reasonable prices and if you catch them on a shipment day, which I believe is on Friday, ( check the vendor announcement forum) he usually gets a good selection of both SPS and LPS.

Centre St., and 25th Ave. NW. for Ocean. The store is improving. They have put in a number of new tanks. The only quibble I have is the fish selection. They often have fish that are likely not to survive in captivity.

Would you believe that there is no apostrophe in Peters

The owner is Dutch, and his last name is Pieters. He felt that would not do for a name, so it became Peters.

I am not doing an English lesson, but just want to provide some trivial information for Quinn.

Bob, sounds like you're down on the Peters scene. Do us lowlanders get a discount there do you think?

More like up on the Peters scene. Never got a discount there. BTW I have other stories if you want to hear them some day, but this forum is not the place. Unless one is lookig to pad his post count. (heading for 3000)
