Its a bit sad that so many stores are closing. I guess they figured Border's is a better brand name than A&R.
I've lived in Newcastle for 6 years and I didn't even know we had an A&R in the CBD

Then again no-one in Newcastle shops in the CBD these days thanks to the big shopping centres in the 'burbs and I haven't bought a p-book for 3 years now.
