| - Like Julia, I am still sad that Borders is out of business. I was their guy through and through, but oh well. Now Barnes and Noble is my preferred option when I get the big bookstore bug. (Yes, Charlotte has good little bookstores, but I argue that the two experiences are quite different.)
Of the two Barnes and Noble's in my usual territory, I must admit that I prefer the South Park location. This one seems like it might be a little bigger with more books, but it's also older (which isn't necessarily a bad thing) and tends to be overrun with teenages when school's out (which definitely can be a bad thing). Also, the coffee shop is right smack dab in the middle of the store, which is a bit exposed for my taste. I know that's a personal issue, but I imagine there are at least a few other people who don't like being set on a pedastal in the middle of a huge store when drinking coffee.
That being said, I do visit this store, and I usually get good service, and that makes it solidly A-OK.
