Throw in the ubiquitous elderly person who thinks they have to scream into their cell phone to be heard and you have a place that is no good for just trying to relax with some coffee and something to read and more like sitting it the middle of a mall.Īesthetically, its pretty much just like every other Barnes & Noble however, their kids section edges out most of the book stores in town. Granted, a lot of the toys are educational in nature but they also have a lot of cheap stuff from China thats packed onto the shelves. The toy section is massive and incredibly overpriced and every time I come here it seems like its gotten a little bit bigger and more cluttered. There are electronic toys everywhere beeping and talking and little kids everywhere who keep them beeping and talking. As a result, Barnes & Noble (or at least this Barnes & Noble) is more of a toy and electronics store than anything else. Ebooks, video on demand, Redbox, Google play, etc have nearly made a book store an anachronism. The problem is that this place has had to try to remain relevant in a digital world. It was pretty busy in here with a lot of people but that wasnt the problem. I came here for a quiet place to study and read but didnt find it.
