64 AnonymousHouston, Texas77007If Barnes and Noble takes space in a demolished River Oaks Shopping Center, I will not shop at a Barnes and Noble store again. Fortunately, the Borders on Kirby is just down the road instead.
65 wendy campbellhouston, texas77550I am so disappointed in your lack of respect for our community. If I cant shop at The Alabama I might as well use Amazon.
66 David TheisHouston, TX77023i will never shop in another B&N if you tear down the Alabama Theater.

69 david d. guetzowhouston, tx77019I am outraged and very dismayed by this whole situation. I intend to boycott and encourage my friends and family to with-hold their business from the proposed new Barnes and Noble.

87 John CrawfordHouston, Texas77018Doesn't it bother you that almost everything in our culture is overthrown and displaced by profit driven motives? Houston's parks and museums and unique public spaces give our city it's culture. And it is that culture that draws economic activity to itself. (For God's sake, they are building a 50MM dollar City Park in downtown based on that very idea!?) I cannot speak for corporations, but for Houston's residents - our culture, our history, and our icons are more precious that gold. The Alabama Bookstop should be saved!
88 Jane MartinHouston, TX77005Please support our community and help us save what's left of historic Houston before it's all gone. Thank you.
89 Meredith SclocchiHouston, TX77008Please consider alternative options for this theatre to preserve it.
90 Lisa GrahamHouston, TX 7700677006As a 3rd generation Houstonian, it pains me to see another icon of this once beautiful city torn down to make room for another eye sore. Why is it necessary to have a B&N within 5 miles of each other and why does CVS seem to be closing in around me, and why must every patch of grass be overrun by Perry Homes. Give us something to remember Houston by.....
91 Christina SolisHouston, Texas77006I have been a patron of Bookstop since it opened. It is my favorite bookstore in Houston, in large part because of the wonderful setting that it is in. When Barnes & Noble bought out Bookstop, I worried that the larger entity would not understand the significance of such a unique bookstore, and needless to say, I was relieved when they left Bookstop relatively unmolested. It would be quite a shame to lose such a unique landmark to a store I would never set foot in.
92 AnonymousBeaumont, TX77705Please do the right thing. Make an effort to support our community. Save the beautiful, historic Alabama Theater Bookstop.

98 David CookHouston, Tx77019Do not demolish the BOOKSTOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

100 Holly BarkerHouston, TX77019Barnes and Noble is notoriously overpriced. If you build a mega-store, rest assured that people will stop going to you guys and go to a more reasonably priced book store. The reason that you recieve the volume of business that you do at that location is because of the character and charm of the historic Alabama theatre. There is a Borders very close by, and they are much cheaper - you lose the character, you lose the business.
