i've got no specific intel w/regard to HK LE, but it's been noted on this forum that CC may be up for redevelopment.
it's a shame, if true. best camera shops in HK. the "tomato" cafe in the basement hasn't changed since the 60s. it's great old-school HK, and has WGs too!
however, all of TST close to Nathan Road is primo territory. look at new malls like The One--rents may be outrageous but u can't even find a place to sit on weekends. of course u can always go to Canton Road, where u wait in line just to enter a shop and buy an overpriced handbag.
with these ridiculous rents, it makes sense that CC will be taken over, likely smashed to bits and a giant palace to the God of Mammon constructed in its place. but it's a long process, and perhaps it starts with strangling the WG trade there. so perhaps the LE are there to dissuade punters.
which means fewer "please wait" signs! if you've got yr eye on a CC gal, now might be the best time to check it out.
