Really Nintendo? San Fransisco? The first one is in NYC, one the cultural hubs of the world.

Then you want to open a west coast location, which makes sense. Naturally, I think "it's going to be or around L.A."

L.A. being the opposite end cultural hub. Whereas NYC is all about embracing the gritty aspects of life, and celebrating old archetecture. Where all races and creeds come together to equally smell rat piss in the subway, L.A. takes things in a very different approach. It celebrates the shiney new fake plastic personalities. Ditzy airheads and extravagant prices. Which makes sense that Hollywood is right there.

Or, if that fell through, I wouldn't have been surprised if you chose Seattle, given that your north american HQ is there. That would also make sense.

But San Fransisco??? Why? Mario loves pasta, not rice! It makes no sense. May as well have put the damn thing in CLEVELAND at that point!

Ya know what? Fuck it. If we're just doing things willy-nilly like that, lets go there. Lets put a Nintendo store in downtown Cleveland! We could even put Drew Carry in a fat suit, and dress him up like Mario for the grand opening.

What? You think I'm just saying these things because I live in Cleveland and want a nearby Nintendo store? Psshhh! No! Stupid! That's not it at all! Idiot!

................dammit. They figured me out.
