RIP Borders

Jul 18, 2011 20:45

Sad day today--Borders announced they were closing the rest of their stores. I had hopes for the Borders in my neck of the woods, but alas.

The rational and logical part of me realizes that this is due in large part to poor management. The emotional part of me mourns the lost of an outlet for art and literature. Yes, there are still libraries and other bookstores. But there are now less.

Perhaps with one less big-box store independents will start to open up again.
