[Carey]

Wall St Journal announced that Borders will be closing 30% of their stores, including the Kailua Kona (#206) and Lihue (#95) stores in Hawaii. Closing will occur in the "coming weeks":

Yikes where is the best place to hang out and listen to Hawaiin music and pic up some new discs when I come back if not at Borders :/

OMG! When I saw the title of this topic, my first thought was that Hawaii had seceded and was not admitting any new residents.
Shades of 'The Mouse that Roared'.
When I realized it was about a bookstore, I was even more dismayed...

TheodoreJay, I hope you don't mean the one near Walmart in Hilo, because it's long gone.

Yep I know that Hilo Borders is closed.....now the one in Kona too?
Coming back soon. My first event is usually go to Borders and pick out some new Hawaii discs for my trip around the island. Where's best place to do that now (w/ listening stations) or am I gonna just have to do it on the internet (not the same) :/
