Yeah some of the large cities, such as my home town Washington, DC has a few small store front book stores left, but the owner of one once told me that "Its so cheap and easy for people to get books these days with the advent of electronic books that I really can't compete. It simply costs too much to come to my small front book store these days, my customers are simply not willing to pay for the gas in the cars to come to my store, they much prefer for the stores to come to them then the other way around.
