Union Station’s Barnes and Noble Saved for at Least One More Year!
Yesterday I shared some news that Barnes and Noble was closing at the end of the year in Union Station. A lot can change in a day! According to the Post’s Jonathan O’Connell:
“Twenty-four hours after saying Barnes & Noble planned to close its store in Union Station at the end of the year, a company spokeswoman said Thursday that the company has received and accepted a one-year extension from its landlord and will keep the store open at least through 2013.”

you do live in a transitional neighborhood. news like this is rough, but it shouldn't be...
Cool; it’s the only place worth going to while waiting for a train. (I mean who seriously shops for Swarovski Crystal embellished cell phone cases these days?)
yeah, I hate that bookstores are dying out. Damn Amazon.
And before them, record stores
Damn Apple.
Now, perhaps all those people who said they’d miss the store will actually buy something there.
Actually, the reason for leaving was never disclosed as poor sales.
It was disclosed that the landlord would not renew B&N’s lease in this space and offered them a different space that B&N decided was not acceptable (and no disclosure on rental rates either).
Not saying bookstores aren’t dying – but this was a decision of the for-profit company that runs Union Station not the for-profit bookstore that was the tenant.
Only prolonging the inevitable….
