102 AnonymousHouston, TX77019
103 AnonymousHouston77019Having grown up just a few blocks away, landmarks such as these are what give this area such a unique feel. Don't be dumb.
104 Anonymoushouston,texas77019Please do not tear down one of the few historic areas in Houston,which is the little bit of charm about our city.

106 candice alvaradohouston, tx77007There is so little authentic character left in Houston. People truly enjoy and appreciate this, and it would be sickening to see another landmark taken away from money driven developers.

111 Alma N. ChavarriaHouston, TX77009The Alabama Bookstop is a historic and architectural site of much value to this city. We don't need another cookie cutter megastore devoid of soul and spirit. Have you not built enough of those in this town? Please reconsider your position and do all you can to save this site.
112 Zeba RizviHouston, TX77009I frequent this particular book store on a weekly basis. Please don't give up on it!
113 Karen StewartHouston, TX77008The Bookstop is a gem! Change the name to B&N if you like, but keep the store.
114 Patrick MireHouston, TX77007Houston proper has so little of it's character and quaint left- destroy the bookstop, you destroy more of its character. If you do, you'll lose my business. I like the Bookstop because it is quaint. Leave it alone!

117 Adam KlimkoHouston, Texas77006Barnes & Noble could benefit by having a flagship booktore with actual history and community presense that offers the same services as the insipid stipmall installation. You could, in fact, capitalize on this.
118 PaulHouston, TX77009please preserve the alabama book stop. the montrose and the heights are unique cultural areas of houston. my family and i will not patronize your stores in the future if you don't preserve this iconic location.
119 Amy PriceHouston, TX 7700977009Houston has been good to Bookstop. Now it's time for Bookstop to be good to Houston.

123 Ellie WindsorHouston, TX77092We LOVE shopping at the Bookstop and make it our first stop whenever book shopping. If we lose this Houston icon, we will remember Barnes and Noble's abandonment of our favorite store.

127 PJHouston TX77379Yank out the books, and put the seats back in. Start playing Rocky Horror again. Just this time around check us for water guns, hot dogs, toast, etc., and we'll behave better. I promise.
128 Janette GarzaHouston, TX77009
129 Kathleen GreshamHouston, TX77007When Bookstop opened in the old Alabama Theatre, they promised to preserve it. Then they tore out the wonderful old interior doors with cobalt glass windows in them. Barnes & Noble later installed the loud, obnoxious coffee shop upstairs and started playing loud music. B&A owes it to Houstonians to preserve this historic building as their predecessor promised to do.
130 feliciahouston, tx77024Save history!
131 Miranda E ThomasHouston, Texas77006Do NOT demolish this important piece of our heritage.
132 Thomas RobinsonHouston, Texas77056A city's historic architectural spaces are its soul and add immeaurably to its livability. The character and class of the Alabama Bookstop/Theater enrich the lives of hundreds of thousands of area residents every day in ways that new construction will not. Please consider the value of this property in the terms of the public good versus its strict real-estate value and preserve it for generations of Houstonians to appreciate and love.
133 TorieLumberton, TX77657I have been coming to the Alabama Book Stop and driving 2 hours to go just there for over 15 years!

136 DEBORAH DOWNEYHOUSTON, TX77004This is bookstore is a source of enjoyment ,the atmosphere and ambience is so great, that I tend to linger and spend much more on purchases than I would at a Cookie-Cutter style store. Would probably never visit the new store, just simply order online. The Alabama Theater Bookstore has introduced me to new friends and has an outstanding knowlegable, curteous and caring staff that will change when store moves.
137 BetsyHouston, TX77040
138 Debbie TrotterHouston, TX77055I always loved this store. Please save it.
139 Amanda AlmoneyPearland, TX77581
140 David WellingHouston, Texas77040Most all of Houston's great theatres are now gone, either razed or abandoned shells. The Alabama's importance is made even greater by its conversion from a former movie theatre to a successful retail space that still FULLY EMBRACES its theatrical past. Its unique nature makes it a far superior bookstore -- one with character and style.
141 Stacey BullockSeabrook, Texas77586I grew up in Montrose, and frequently visit the Bookstop @ Alabama. With communities becoming interchangeable due to National Chains, this historic building gives Houston the flavor that keep Houston a unique, eclectic City. Don't ruin that!
142 Alicia Salamonehouston, tx77006I love this bookstore, and would stop going to Barnes and Noble if it closed. Instead, I would go to the Borders on Kirby and Westheimer, which is closer to me, and as a protest for the Bookstop closing.
143 AnonymousSomerville, MA02143That bookstore is a classic in the area. In my visits and travels, I have visited that store/old theatre often and love the store, structure, etc. It would be a shame to lose this.
144 Adolph TrudeauHouston, TX77007I came across this page because I was trying to find out the store hours. The store in the Alabama theater is only reason why I belong to their discount card thing and consider Barnes and Noble more interesting than their competitors. I think they have an agreement with Bookstop on the name and this makes their marketing of the store lack-luster. I couldn't find it using their online store-finder. It is a pretty sucky situation if Weingarten owns both properties because they seem intent on making the city match the burbs.
145 Anonymoushouston tx77023Don't do it! I remember going to Rocky Horror at the Alabama theater.
146 terri polsondeer par, tx77536I have been going to the bookstop now for 9 years since i moved to texas. I would be a shame to tear it down. It is the best book store around. I have membership to barnes and noble and if they do something like that they will lose my business. I do buy alot of books.

149 Eva GarzaHOUSTON,TX77022I am a native Houstonian and there is only one thing Ido not like about Houston and that is that it does not preserve historical buildings.For Barnes&Noble to abandon this building would be a tragedy.
