It was one of my favorite stores to spend time browsing in and a very nice one to teachers. Twice a year, they would have weekends where teachers got a 25% discount on everything. As a teacher, I appreciated a corporation saying thanks to my efforts.
I especially liked their bargain books which had some really great coffee table type books for music and history. Plus, ever since Woolworth's left us, I have been getting my journals from Borders. I've been keeping a journal since 1978 and used to use Woolworth's Daily Aide Journals.
Then, there was their excellent local sections and all those Acadia books as well as a big history one. And, before the demise of CDs, they had a very deep and eclectic collection along with listening posts, very important when getting a group you're not familiar with.
I was saddened to learn at the beginning of the year that Borders was closing my McHenry store in March. I had spent many hours in that store.

Being an account of some things I'm interested in, what I'm doing, and reflections on my past, especially music.
