A very good bookstore, with a far above average newsstand, Books-A-Million on Memorial Road is closing. I always wondered how they stayed in business with so few customers, but I also wondered why they didn't have customers. They carried many more titles in-store than Barnes and Noble down the street, had a newsstand of newspapers and magazines probably twice as big as B&N and J. Muggs coffee is better than Starbucks, imo. Too bad, another loss of a brick and mortar bookstore.

On Edit: Just found out what the deal is....

Apparently they're the only BAM store closing in the chain and it's not because of bad sales or anything. The owners of the center hiked the lease by about $6,000 and they did the same to Bath & Body Works and Quizno's and they're leaving too.
