I always hate it when a good retail establishment closes. At this point now it is usually restaurants! Chain restaurants usually leave me a little cold. I like the mom and pop type things. Most of the independent bookstores here are long gone. I do remember a couple of the bookstores I went to when I was young. They were great.
The only significant sized independent bookstore left here made money on used books, and it is where John Grisham (hugely popular here) chooses to go for signings. That has kept them in business a long time, but they have had to move and downsize.
