It's heartening--I love you all, even Mr. Babbitt, who by his sobriquet appears to be more than literate. At least he reads. Can we import a few anarchists from Seattle (where it is reported that reading is a popular indoor/outdoor sport) to keep this icon? Geez, people actually read? It’s heartening–I love you all, even Mr. Babbitt, who by his sobriquet appears to be more than literate. At least he reads.

F. Babbitt who only see value in the new. Yes, Acres is old and dusty, but remember that the building has been under threat for years. Who in their right mind would spend money to beautify something that was known to be lost soon? There are books of great value that are no longer available at B&N. When all the used book stores and other small business are gone in favor of condos and chain stores, you will find that you will miss all the wonderful family owned, unique things. Everything is becoming cookie cutter and the same with the same stores no matter where you go. The world is becoming a boring place due to people like Babbitt. I am so sorry for people like G. F.
