The Ghosts of Borders Past

With the announcement that our former company will be liquidating all remaining assets and closing the rest of its stores, we wanted to share some pictures of stores we loved before, during, and after a liquidation.  To those of you going through this process, some for the second or third time – we feel your pain.

• Part 1: The Before
• Part 2: The During
• Part 3: The End
• Part 4: The Reprise
• Part 5: My Last Last Day
• Part 6: Borders Without Borders (coming soon)
