I wouldn't hold your breath for either of those options.

If a bounce place opened there, the next post would be - Can you believe that they are charging $50 per hour for some balls and a mat?  how dare they?????

B&N is now a bad credit because their business model is in peril.  The location is hot so FRIT has no incentive to cut the rent.   FRIT is not the bad guy here and B&N is within their rights to request a rent decrease or a shorter term lease because they know their days are numbered.  This is the economy at work people.   Embrace it and be thankful for it.

Why should FRIT subsidize a bookstore that is going bankrupt because people don't buy books?  Going there to play with the train or sit and read for free doesn't pay the rent.  [/quote]

I don't think so.  Kidville is already pretty expensive for the younger set, I don't think people would blink an eyeball at having a closer indoor athletic option for their kids rather than having to trek out to Rockville or Laurel.[/quote]
