Laredo closes last bookstore :(

I'm so sad.  Laredo is now the largest city in the country without a bookstore.  UGH!

  • i saw that yesterday! it is sad... you'll just have to move to college station Smile
  • That is tragic. Sad
    Dear Bump: You suck.
  • Oh no!!  I'm sorry; that really sucks.
  • Seriously, what is this world coming to?  Though when/if they do build that B&N in 18 months or so, I bet it's going to be a huge deal.  I remember B.Dalton stores (there used to be one in Barton Creek Mall under where the Gap stores are now) and we never bought anything from there anyway because they were so expensive and claustrophobic.  Maybe what Laredo needs is a store with an in-store Starbucks and big overstuffed chairs ;)

    I hope, but honestly it depends on where they build it if they do.  Like the article says, 30% of the people here are below the poverty level.  At the high school I teach, 94% of the students live below the poverty level.  Up in north Laredo everyone is very well off though.  So if they build a B&N up there I think it would do great.  Ugh, it's just sad.  This town is just not into education at all.

  • at least we have amazon?  ;(

    there is something nastalgic about a bookstore, you definitely can't easily replicate that scent of new paper - I was such a nerd as a kid, I LOVED going to bookstores.  especially if it was to buy the latest sweet valley high or babysitters club book.  Embarrassed

  • Sad, but honestly not surprising.
