Another chance for First Chance, Last Chance

This Friday’s business story is about the opening of the First Chance, Last Chance Games store at 508 Main St. I didn’t have to go far to report this one — it’s right across the street from the Journal. We reported at the end of 2008 that the store was supposed to open this spring, but it’s finally open now.

The store is for gamers — people who play games like Dungeons & Dragons — but they also have traditional board games like Scrabble and Monopoly. You won’t find any video games, though. That’s what I think is cool about it.

The story will have pictures of the renovation of the historic building, and pictures from the Friday night Magic tournaments they hold there. It was built in 1908 as First Chance, Last Chance Saloon. Cool name, huh?

Store hours are Tuesday through Thursday, 11 a.m. to 8 p.m.; Friday and Saturday, 11 a.m. to 10 p.m., and Sunday noon to 5 p.m.
