Local Borders is in a difficult to get to location with traffic; B&N is extremely easy to get to and less than a mile away from the Borders.

Local Borders is a medium sized store with about 1/3 of it dedicated to cd's (which I no longer buy) and DVD's/BluRay (which I no longer buy) and the book selection is only decent; local B&N is much bigger and dedicated to books with an excellent selection.

Local Borders loses on both of these counts. Sorry but I'm going to go for the store that is not only easier to get to but also has a better selection of books.
