Good-bye old friend, you will be missed...

This was a post I meant to written WAY back when I originally heard the news about Borders closing. I was and still am very sad about the whole mess. While Borders and Barnes & Noble share many qualities I had always found Borders to give the better overall experience. The music and movie sections were far superior that of B & N. I enjoyed the way they arranged the different genres. I loved the cafe and the most comfortable areas to "browse" the merchandise. I went to every midnight release party that they gave for Harry Potter through to the Twilight books that I was able to attend. That's right I am THAT GIRL. :-) Now it's over. I can't go and spend a Saturday morning sitting, reading, and deciding which books I can get and which books have to stay at the store for a while longer. Sadness.

I've been lucky being in Manning and not Davenport right now. I'm sure I'd be a lot more upset if I were home. As it is I'v been out in Western Iowa where it's difficult to find a Target let alone a B & N or Borders. :-) It's been kind of nice.
