There's been a slow brick-and-mortar drain happening in my toy world for a while. First, both Suncoast branches (in Hilltop and San Rafael) closed, as well as two nearby Tower Music/Video stores. The Toys 'R' Us in Emeryville closed as well, leaving only San Rafael and Hilltop as toy browsing options.

Anyway. Here's the thing. The Emeryville store was replaced by a Babies 'R' Us. Toys 'R' Us catered to babies, too. Wouldn't you think there'd be more call for a store catering to a wider age range, as opposed a store (that's just as large) servicing a narrower one? Not to mention one that will grow out of their target demographic pretty quickly?
