[quote=Anonymous]A lot of information is not publicly known about the original lease and the alleged rent increases and decreasing sales. Barnes and Noble across the country put out a mandate to negotiate lower rents due to sagging sales. The one thing B & N is good at is PR, They are tossing the blame on Federal Reality and making them look bad in in an effort to have local leaders and residents put pressure on them like the did in NY when they were closing a store there that eventually became an Saks off 5th. If all the people who are upset about this actually bought books instead of sitting in the store reading them and then putting them back on the shelf they probably would be ok but from he very beginning that spot was way too big, too expensive to maintain, too expensive to stay there long term. They got extended after Cheescake Factory said no to the spot and decided to go to Montgomery Mall after White Flint closed. [/quote]
