[78-L] Bye Bye, Borders

[Malcolm Rockwell]

Turns out Borders is only closing two stores here in Hawaii; one on the 
Big Island and the other on Kauai. The stores on Maui and Oahu will 
remain. Borders is a mainstay of book lovers on Maui, however I still go 
to Amazon if they don't have what I'm looking for. Our Maui store is 
very well stocked and the nearest thing to a coffee-house we have. Poty, 
we could use a good coffee-house (and, no, Starbucks does NOT count!)
