Plus, should I actually leave Louisville (gasp!), it would be easier to just switch stores. :)

i know that Hawley-Cooke employees were always some of the lowest paid people in this country.

Most people seem ok with it, but there are a few that are upset, understandably. It’s always sad to see a local business fall to the giants of corporate America. However, there is a reason why Borders is at the top of their game. They’re good. Very good. So, if it had to be (and it did), I’m glad it was Borders.
