What Would You Like to See Fill the Old St. Charles Borders?
This is the first in a series of weekly columns asking St. Charles Patch readers what they would want to see move into an empty storefront.
A little more than a year ago, Borders announced it would close about 200 stores across the country—including the St. Charles location.
By July, the bookstore giant pushed ahead with closing all of its retail locations as the company struggled with Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings.
This left a noticeable hole in St. Charles' east side business corridor. Filling that spot would likely be a boon for the shopping centers that surround and neighbor it.
