During 2009 many large businesses closed in downtown Tempe. This was Border's Bookstore after they closed in Feb., 2009.

Sadly, I think that's going to be true for a lot of places. Thanks for taking a look and commenting.

Hi, Floyd. Not really. We lost a great bookstore and a decent coffee shop. The building stayed empty for a considerable time.
Thanks for taking a look and commenting.

Your excellent shot of the past is liable to be a prediction for our future.

Mike, that was my thought when I was reviewing some of my older files and saw these. The initial reason was to change some of the processing steps. Then, when I saw this, and the others I photographed over the course of an evening, I immediately thought of what businesses are going through presently. I also wonder how many will face the same outcome.

Great story-telling image Bob - really captures the feeling. I used to go to many different bookstores, but unfortunately they are all gone with the exception of Barnes & Noble. Whenever I'm in the mall where they're located, I stop in to buy something (anything).

Bill, most of the bookstores are no longer here. Barnes and Noble have maintained a presence. Like yourself, I have a weakness for books.
That particular Border's was on my way home from a job I had. Fortunately, that job was within walking distance of my house. Unfortunately, a lot of my paychecks never made it past the cash register of that particular Border's. They also had a great coffee shop.
This is the first of a series of three. Please, stay tuned.
