some company had it under contract, but i think it fell through.

That is a shitty retail location.

You have to do a U-turn to get there. It is far back from the road and wedged next to a mini storage.

I've seen some work being done to it within the last week, but there is no sign out front, and no one seems to know anything. I was wondering if Tigerdirect was reopening it as a retail location....oh well, wait and see i guess.

holy fuck that would be awesome to have a tigerdirect on glenwood

9/9/2008 8:14:06 PM

^sorta. they aren't that great when i go to the capitol blvd location.

9/9/2008 9:14:33 PM

They usually have the best prices for accessories, cables, etc. The actual computer prices are ~

The roller rink is where the mini storage was. Compusa was the parking lot.

are they not at pleasant valley anymore?

Nope. Mr. Hand and I found out the hard way when trying to find me a new HDD for my laptop. They moved to Six Forks or Wake Forest Rd or some such.

Looks to be a fitness center.

I was hoping it was going to be Tiger Directs new location. The one on Capital is too crowded.
