Re: US Comic Book Shops vs. Canadian Comic Book Shops
It might just be a matter of the types of stores that people tend to film in the US. I'm sure there are tons of tightly packed shops there as well, but they are probably not the stores that people want to film in.
I've seen a mix here, really. Big B comics in both Barrie and Hamilton are clean, nicely laid out shops, as is Conspiracy Comics in Burlington. But then I've also been in a couple in Montreal, Toronto, Kitchener, and some other smaller towns that are like what you describe.
A lot of it probably has to do with the business acumen of the people running them, but then again if they can continue to pay rent and make a living I guess they're doing something right.
