. "I can't believe it took me however-long-this-store-has-been-open to visit. This version of Barnes & Noble is quite a bit smaller than its Westside counterpart. It's conveniently connected to the mall, which I also apparently hadn't been to in over a decade and was nicely renovated. This is great for cold or rainy weather days when you don't want to keep getting in and out of your car.\n\nThe drag about being connected to the mall is the...mallrats? People running around the store, yelling, laying and reading in the aisles so you couldn't walk through them. I couldn't get too mad because there are countless worse places to be on a Friday night than a bookstore; I just wouldn't recommend this for those seeking a quiet place to read or study.\n\nThis location has a Starbucks inside, easily accessible, and offering free water in small cups or if you byo water bottle. The store seemed to carry many more non-book items than expected, like books, puzzles, crafts, building sets, that were fun to look at but not geared toward my current demographic."^^ . "0"^^ .
