First off, sorry, no story today. Having
a rough day including insomnia and don’t feel up to it. Posting something I already wrote in advance
instead.
A companion piece to the Victoria
blog entry. For locations still pretty close to Victoria but outside the actual
Greater Victoria area. Must be accessible by way of the Cowichan Valley
Regional Transit System or the Salt Spring Island Transit System or be in
Ladysmith.
As stores close down I’ll keep them
listed for historical purposes but make a note so that you don’t go out of your
way for nothing. I don’t have sufficient
information to list grocery stores that rent movies, but if I get enough
information on the subject, I might add later.
