Will the stock be down to two by then? Will Borders on st Charles be open by then. Will someone by Borders for their Xmas present? ? ?and no anwers yet.Other blogs seem to think Mr Jones is alright. Lets see him hire some people that knows books and music. But I know everybody thinks music is on the way ou t in retail. If so let's get rid of the grammy's and americian Idol.

There was a time in life I actually considered it as a new career direction. But if this is what they're teaching, it's no wonder we're in the financial mess we're in right now.

I still haven't figured out the business model that says, "Hurry up and build a whole lot of stores and hire scads of people so you can lay them off". What IS with that? If Borders was in such bad shape where are they getting the money for construction? Maybe it's me, but I don't get it.

Not something to be happy about Mr Jones. i meant no one with local knowlege being manager of the St Charles Borders. Not something to be happy about Mr Jones.

I'll try harder. At least you read between the lines. I went by the Borders store on st Charles ave today. It looks like they are working on the inside. With 6 weeks to go till Black Friday it still an empty shell. They have had the manager postion open for nearly six months. many of my friends are still willing to protest thinking of having Rebirth Brass Band. I would have loved to been at their Job Fair. Wondering who ran it. I bet they just had someone fly In who had no idea what New orleans is like. I talked to someone from Macy's home office today and they said they couldn't believe they have know one with local knoledge are from here running the store this late in the game. Very bad busy. macy's is opening two stores in the area and they have people that have a clue and understand the local cummunity. they also give something back to the cummunity. I guess that is why they have lasted 150 years. i don't think Borders will last that long. On a stock adviser interview with mr jones he seems like he scared to say what exally is going on. next big news is comming at the end of nov he says be ready for a surprise. I wait with baited breath. Check in Twain Don't abandon this train which is bound for glory. you are right. I’ll try harder. At least you read between the lines.

Nothing personal! Just think a voice as loud as yours (which I sincerely applaud for speaking up against the corporate plague that has ruined our once beloved company) would have a much deeper impact if you took a bit more time with your entries. You have a lot to say and should be proud for taking a strong stand. Don't diminish that proud voice with laxidasial writing. Just my opinion but regardless, don't stop! Grammar and spelling aside, you must continue your quest! One other thing... As you can see my entries are very new to this thread. I have however monitored this blog for quite some time. I would love to see something back from Swan as I'm truly concerned that she or he has yet to see the true light. Twan too. She or he was also very passionate about sharing the truth from many years of experience...what happened to them? OK. Nothing personal!
