[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So interesting. Independent bookstores [b]seem[/b] to be flourishing in DC. We have a great [b]new[/b] one on the Hill and apparently one is opening on H Street soon. [/quote] "Seem" and "new" would be the operative words here. Politics and Prose and Kramers are of the few that have endured. Borders (although not independent), Olsens, Books a Million...bit the dust. I doubt this is about rent. B&N closed it's DC stores already: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/local/wp/2015/10/09/d-c-barnes-noble-closing-leaving-no-more-big-bookstores-in-the-city/?utm_term=.f8528c325cd5 [/quote] When two of your three examples of dying independent bookstores are actually chains, you kind of lose the argument. Olsens I've never heard of. [/quote] Are you new here? Olsson's was a DC institution for about 30 years. They closed in 2008. [/quote]
