I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Looks like the Borders closest to me are all staying open, though I had to go to the website to find out what cities they are in as they are too far away for me to go to often enough to just know where they are.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
The ones near me are staying open, thankfully. Loop and Mag Mile locations, so no big surprise, I guess.

Sail, I've been thinking about the sitch in your state...not only is Walker a union-busting asshole(Somewhere my grandfather is very proud right now) but he flunked public-relations too. He is going to look like the Biggest Dick in The World(cue Bach) if they end up cracking skulls on elementary teachers. In fact, I suggest that...half the demonstrations be the firefighters and other, toughest union people...the other, cookie-baking grandmas that spend their own money to get the good markers. Of course, there are people like my mom(Proud AEA member) who could fit in both categories.

It looks like the one I used to worked at is safe for now. I'm surprised I still remembered the store number.

erika, we're seriously hoping the prison guards go on strike. Then Walker would really have an excuse to call out the National Guard. They're calling him the Mubarak of the Midwest. Yeah, public relations is not his strong suit.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Damn. The four five Borders I go to the most often are all closing.
Well, crap. What will I do for two hour dinner breaks during tech when the North/Clybourn store is gone? State/Randolph will be my only remaining store.
Brenda, the Mag Mile one is already closed.

See, this is what happens when you allow Snuggies. People try to wear them outside. Unleash the Tim Gunn fashion correction scorn!
I like the Borders in Union Square but generally go to B&N if I'm going to a big store.
I wonder why somebody doesn't go with the Powells' model. Buy up property in rundown downtowns for cheap, and shelve new and used books side by side. It's becoming more and more clear that you can't lease a space and make a bookstore work.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
State/Randolph will be my only remaining store.
I suppose I could schlep my tuchus down there.
'Cuz you know, sometimes I can't wait for Amazon.

Seriously, it came out of nowhere.
Yeah, we got some sun just now and I went out to walk the dog, and then got hit with more rain/sleet/small hail. And then in seven minutes the sun came out again. Wacky weather.
