This morning I had an email from Borders announcing they are going completely out of business. I had heard this here, but hoped it was wrong. But hearing it from Borders makes it official.
They are the local bookstore here. I have shopped there since there was only one store. B&N didn't arrive here until they were already a huge chain. Losing Borders will be another blow to the area economy.
The "going out of business sale" email seems to say it will be business as usual. 40% off "original price" as if anything sells for original price anywhere, as if that isn't what they have long been in the habit of offering in their sales. It starts today but I tell ya I'm certainly not going to brave the Art Fair crowds to get down there to their main store.
