[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Federal Realty is to blame. The rent skyrocketed. Like they need to libe their pockets with even more money.

It's amazing that bookstores, which are attractive to a healthy, safe community and serve as a window to worlds unknown, are disappearing. It's sad commentary in this day and age. No one cares that this place is what made Bethesda Row so appealing to people. A place to peruse, to discover new reads, a place for kids to see actual books and reach for them instead of being some abstract on the screen of an iPad. Why must this happen? It's not right. It's not healthy for a community. I'm hoping for a Hail Mary pass here that someone has a change of heart. I bought all my magazines, children's books and novels there. Simply because I can't stand anymore to read things on an iPad or kindle. After awhile everything looks the same. There is no feeling to what I've read. I prefer to hold an actual magazine and completely disconnect, or a physical novel in my hands, and let my fingers touch the paper...[/quote]
