Good point.  

Chapters closed it's Richmond store, and one of the reasons they cited was that the prevailing demographic did not have enough interest in  English language books to keep the store open. Black Bond Books closed as well, same reason. So now we have a city of over 200,000 without a  major bookstore. But thankfully we still have two small second hand bookshops in Steveston for the local bibliophiles.  Eventually I suppose rising rents due to re-development, and the ever increasing stock of empty or partially lived in homes,  will cause their doors to shutter.

Collateral damage - Vancouver - and Richmond - is full of it.
