I just noticed today that the two-story building vacated by Borders of Birmingham, on Woodward, has been leased. Does anybody know what's moving in? I heard rumors a few months back that Barnes & Noble was interested in that spot, and another rumor that another large bookstore chain was considering it.

I for one really miss Borders. B&N has never been a bookstore I cared to patronize. And since Borders went bust, I've cut way back on books and magazines.

Damn you Borders, why did you go out of business? [[Actually I know they overstocked books and didn't get into the electronic reader game soon enough for big enough.)
