Borders in Hilo: The Last Day

At ten P.M. tonight Borders in Hilo will close permanently. I went one last time yesterday afternoon and took these photos.










The children's section was the first to be depleted. The Hawaiiana section was nearly bare, and so were the romance, mystery, and sci fi shelves. The usual checkout impulse items were either sold out or put away. But the magazine section was still full, perhaps because periodicals were exempt from discounts.
