Definitely sad indeed. I'll admit, as far as pricing on things other than books, ect. Borders was never really a great store compared to B&N, but I did like the atmosphere and less crowded locations (a good sign for failure sadly). Plus the fact that I am too, a bookstore junkie.
The best thing I liked was simply the Seattle's Best coffee, hands down better coffee and was well made by the employees with better quality ingredients. B&N's Starbucks was to me, not in the same league there.
Also I too live around Houston, but the best Borders there to me was in the Woodlands area on Market Street. I'll definitely miss that location.
