One of the few remaining historic commercial areas in Houston is on the verge of being razed and replaced by a Barnes and Noble. This is morally unacceptable. And probably just as fiscally risky as leaving the older shopping strip as-is considering the glut of similarly obnoxious bookstores in the area.
So do us all a favor – Houston is already tough enough to live in. The heat. The humidity. The traffic. The no hills. Help us hold on to a few shreds of history and eclecticness (word?). Please go here and sign a petition asking the people holding the keys to the bulldozer to change their minds.

It's not so much the B&N that kills me as the "residential highrise" planned for across the street where the ol' River Oaks theatre stands. Let's do the time warp again!

The last thing River Oaks needs is another Barnes & Noble when there's one literally 5 minutes away. Like they even read. Please.
