Welcome and question
Welcome everyone! Thanks for helping us launch this great new site and thanks to Darryl for making it happen.
My question for everyone is pretty basic -- What is your FLGS?
My friendly local game store is Immortals Inc. in Rocky River, Ohio.
http://www.immortalsinconline.com/
We have a lot of game stores in Sacramento, and being a manufacturer I try to patronize as many of them as possible, but my favorites are, in order of preference:
Viking Hobby
Randy's House of Games
Great Escape Games
My go to FLGS by far. Located in downtown Plainfield, plenty of parking and restraunts nearby. The store is clean, family-friendly, loads of gaming space five rooms and a large open area. Great selection of games, and I recommend that everyone sign up on Perkville.com to start earning points which can be redeemed for Dragon Dollars to be used in purchasing product.
Address-
15032 S. Desplaines Street
Plainfield, IL 60544
Mine is Parker, Banner, Kent, & Wayne in Cornelius, NC. Unfortunately there aren't many gaming stores in the Charlotte area.
Tabletop is a great shop, and they do carry Troll Lord Games.

I run a bimonthly C&C game at Armchair Adventurer in Honolulu, HI.
Nice game store where a variety of gaming is going on every night, from board to card to RPGs. Robert Welch is the store owner and does an excellent job at creating an inviting environment for gamers. Good selection of gaming material always on hand as well.

Armored Gopher Games
By far the friendliest store I've been in. The staff is knowledgeable and helpful.

Game HQ - HUUUGE gaming space, great community, friendly, helpful staff.
This is my game store away from home.

TBH, I don't get much of a chance to frequent our FLGSs, which is really a shame. The closest ones to me would probably be Saltire Games (1723 Pendleton Pike; Indianapolis, IN 46236-3909), Game Paradise (1110 Prospect St, Indianapolis, IN 46203) or Game Preserve (1551 E Stop 12 Rd, Indianapolis, IN 46227)

I live in southern Sweden. Sadly, there are very few game shops left and these days 99% of my game books are purchased online. But I know of one shop in (northern) Sweden that sell C&C and that is:
Collector's Point (Sweden): http://www.collectorspoint.se/
I also buy C&C from these fine establishments:
Spheremaster Games (Germany): http://www.sphaerenmeisters-spiele.de
Leisure Games (UK): https://www.leisuregames.com
My FLGS is:
The Portal Comics and gaming
321 Woodlawn Avenue, Bethlehem, PA 18018
610-419-8004
http://theportalcomicsandgaming.com/main/
They have a lot of board game products and a fair amount of RPG. They do however need some C&C.
Hey! I grew up in Chicago and used to go to Games Plus in the early '80s for a lot of my gaming stuff. Glad to see it is still around. Wish we had something like that down here in Charlotte.
Wandering Havoc, Marysville, WA
Dungeons End, Duluth, MN

Borderlands Games
Wildlands
Haven Games
with a fourth in there I can't remember. Though I do remember the grime and lack of customer service in the fifteen minutes spent looking around.
All four in Salem, OR
