Borders store closings
As part of its bankruptcy, about a third of Borders stores will close, including two here in Columbus. While you check the list for your locals, ask yourself when was the last time you were there?
It was about 2004 for me too, maybe earlier. I remember I went Christmas shopping with my brother at the Borders on Kenny Road. He bought something but then decided to return it before leaving the store, and the cashier was super snotty about it. So much so that when we got back to my parents' house he called the store and complained to the manager, who was like "No!... Who?!? He didn't!" It was vicariously satisfying.
