Everyone I know likes that store. I cannot believe it would be going under, I have never heard of a Hastings going out of business before. I am getting scared as to what is going on with our economy.</DIV>

<DIV>Although they both sell books, Hastings and BookPeople are not the same store, they are totally different in my opinion and serve a different purpose. We need them both in Moscow. </DIV>

Has anyone else heard a contrary or a confirming rumor?
