Here in Boston its the last big store around.
Really, its just about the only place I learn about new releases. It would just be awful to loose that place.
“Really, its just about the only place I learn about new releases.”
Not sure if you are talking about books or music, but being one of those old farts, I still buy CD’s. There’s a store next door that my wife shops at. I’d go to B&N and check out all the new music. They have these listening stations where you just scan the CD and get about a minute of each song.
About a year and a half ago, every time I scanned new CD it came back, ‘not in system.’ Finally one of the employees told me - management had decided to stop paying for the updates, so the newest music on there would be something like Nov of 2011.
Now the punch line.
Of course you can still listen to the new music on line.
(Why don’t they just tell me to go away and be done with it?)
