Book Buyers

My favorite bookstore is a place called Book Buyers.
That's where we always take our used books, to cash in for credit. The place is huge, and packed with an incredible assortment of books. Also movies, music, and other cool stuff.
It's been there for ages, and I love browsing.

But people are raising the rent so high around here now that all of the really cool little places are being forced to move, or close.
So the percentage of chain places in increasing, because they can afford the rent. While all the more unique places are forced out.

Including Book Buyers.
They can't afford the place anymore. And they're moving, in just a couple weeks. To be replaced by another restaurant. That street is already mostly restaurants. They don't need another one.
And with Book Buyers gone, my reason for visiting that area is pretty much gone too.
If they can't find anywhere to move to, they might disappear...
Which is heart-breaking.
I went down there today, to use up some of our store credit.
And I pray that I'll be able to go back again some day, even if it's farther from home.
Please don't disappear, Book Buyers. You're the best used bookstore.
