It used to be a Theater - and then a nice Borders store.

I visited it today to say good bye and get some books on sale. It's sad to see Borders go. I wonder what will happen to this building and sign now - in any case I'll keep my eye on it and sketch a new face.
What a beautiful illustration. I used to live in Palo Alto and have very fond memories of the store. Your picture reminds me of all the sunny afternoons I used to walk through the doors of that great looking store...
ReplyDeleteBeautiful and even though vibrant and vividly drawn there's a feeling of sadness too. I used to enjoy going to Borders. It's so sad to see all the bookstores disappearing, as much as I love Amazon.
