Name: Howard Park on Sep 6, 2006City, State: Houston, TXZIP code: 77096Comments: You have a fabulous location in the curent Alabama Theater. It's a destination for many... think long term, think goodwill, think physical location that's special to compete with the virtual amazons... think fans and their childrenFlag

Name: Leonard Gilroy on Sep 6, 2006City, State: Houston, TXZIP code: 77027Comments: The Bookstop is my favorite bookstore, and I actually will forego online (cheaper) book purchases for the experience of shopping there. I'd rather pay a little more for the ambiance of the store. My daughter has also grown up with that as her bookstore reference point, which makes the standard suburban-style big bookstore pale by comparison. I'm usually not a NIMBY or preservationist, but the Bookstop is a gem worthy of protecting.Flag

Name: C George on Sep 7, 2006City, State: Houston, TXZIP code: 77005Comments: When I'm shopping for books, I go to Bookstop, not Borders, because the atmosphere's different and inviting. If it becomes just another big box, I'll be taking a lot more of my business on-line to Amazon, where the selection's far better than anything in any physical bookstore.Flag

Name: Robin Holzer on Sep 7, 2006City, State: Houston, TXZIP code: 77006Comments: I have chosen to shop at Bookstop for 17 years -- since 1989 -- despite the close proximity of competing mega book vendors or the availability of Amazon. I continue to buy my books at Bookstop because I REALLY ENJOY browsing for books in the historic Alabama Theater location. As central Houston becomes increasingly urban, the draw of this unique shopping destination only grows. Please preserve it!Flag

I grew up with the Alabama Theater as well as the River Oaks theater and I want to see them preserved!!!!!!!Flag

Name: Kenneth Fair on Sep 7, 2006City, State: Houston, TXZIP code: 77096Comments: I have been a long-time customer of the historic Alabama Theater Bookstop on Shepherd Drive in Houston, Texas, as well as other Barnes & Noble locations. I consider the Bookstop there, as well as the other art-deco buildings in the area owned by Weingarten Realty, to be treasures of the Houston community. They are a rare example of historic preservation in a city with so few other examples. My message is quite simple. If B&N abets the destruction of these buildings in any way, I will never again shop at a B&N store. If B&N cannot support the Houston community, I see no reason to support B&N.Flag

Name: Anna Eastman on Sep 7, 2006City, State: HOUSTON, TX 77008ZIP code: 77008Comments: I am more than willing to drive the extra distance to Borders, when the larger chain experience is necessary. Your presence in the community is unwanted if it requires abandoning and destroying local landmarks. What I love about both the Alabama theatre and River Oaks centers is that they are accessible and retain what is an important part of my choice to stay in the inner part of Houston.Flag
