There's a Border's-shaped hole across the street from us.
Demolition on Calhoun Square, the mall on the opposite side of Hennepin Avenue, is well underway. Crews have torn down the buildings that once housed the Lotus restaurant, Orr Books, and the only unionized Borders store in that chain.
Rumors abound about who will be in the nuevo Calhoun Square. Will there be a bookstore there again? We don't know. For now, we're just enjoying the extra morning sun that reaches us.--David E

Yipes! I used to work there, and always assumed that the given reason of closing the store due to "lease issues" was just a cover for the fact that Borders Inc wasn't making an effort to save a unionized store. Guess I was wrong...
