There were three in Washington, DC. One was supposed to become a big restaurant (haven't checked on whether that happened). Don't know about the other two, altho as others have mentioned of Borders elsewhere, one did sell Halloween gear last fall for awhile.
Don't know about ones in the suburbs. In spite of the economic downturn, the DC metropolitan area does have a decent economy compared to other parts of the US, but .....
I miss the Borders in DC. We still have B&Ns, but one closed several months ago and another recently reduced its hours. And I liked having a some choice, especially since local new book stores have largely gone away.
