| - Ahhh, the bookstore. Where I came from, NE Ohio, there were plenty of them and I patronized them often, coming home with a bag of magazines and a book or two. I was sad when I came to Vegas and had a hard time finding a bookstore. Eventually, I fell out of the habit of browsing bookshelves, poring through magazines, and chilling in the seating area.
I had fun visiting this Barnes and Noble. I think bookstores are going the way of the dinosaur- at least it feels that way - so even though this is a big-box cookie-cutter chain, it's better than no bookstore. It's large and clean, nicely organized, and I'd probably enjoy working there.
My friend and I bought a couple of magazines and hit the in-store Starbucks, where we drank overpriced iced tea and chatted. I felt at home again. Maybe I'll start hanging out here before it disappears.
