What does this article mean. I couldn't read it because I am too cheap to get a subscription for a newspaper for a place I don't live at. https://www.columbian.com/news/2024/may/13/this-chapter-is-not-finished-for-vancouvers-barnes-noble/ Are they closing that store, and moving to a different locati...

I don't think it ever had an indoor playground, but it seems like it was designed for one. There used to be tables / seating in that room but it has been inaccessible to customers and windows covered/tinted sometimes, that seems to come and go, but last time it was visible it was just a big odd ope...

No responses. Does anyone have anything on this subject. This isn't the headquarters of a CIA operation, like the Buy More??
