With all of the posts about LGS nightmares and terrible LGSs, I'd like to take a minute and hear about all the good Game Stores that the community frequents.

Maybe I'm unique but my LGS is awesome. With a moderately sized store, and a gaming space that fits a good number of people, it is my go to place whenever I have free time. Even on the nights where there is no MTG events, I can go in and chat with the Staff, all of which know me by name. The Playgroups there are varied and welcoming to new players, everyone who comes in is happy, nice, and almost no one is smelly. The Commander players are of all skill levels and always are free to trade with and play pickup games, with a joke and a smile. Don't even get me started on the Sunday Commander League. FNM Events start on time, with varied formats. Payouts are great, and vary based on the format.

In my opinion, my LGS is the epitome of LGSs. I guess I should count myself lucky to have an incredible environment for MTG.
