Borders was the first new-bookstore outside of the mall bookstores in this area and came in when I was in college (that dates me, eh?). It opened a whole new world of books and reading for me. Locally, they have often had local acoustic music acts come in for a sort of coffeehouse hour as well as the book clubs. B&N, while I love 'em too, never do that.
There used to be 2 Borders near my house and now there is only one. The Waldenbooks at the mall appears to be gone as well. If Borders closes the closest B&N is about 10 miles away. There is also a B&N near my office. Right now I hit both of them relatively frequently, but since I got my nook I haven't had to go into either store as often.
