To think that an &quot;affluent&quot; town like Reston cannot support a bookstore is sad indeed! Philip Roth was so right when he lamented that all too soon...Americans will not read books. Roth observes that readers of book are becoming a cult...a small cult indeed. And of all of the idiotic concepts and waste of space...a container store...what the H is that? Are there not enough containers already at hand? Storage is BIG business in the USA where the sheep CONtinue to CONsume and then must pay for storage to make room for more junk. And the American sheep CONtinue to follow the piper to their own slaughter...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6412900754136064810.post-82017201945138759172013-03-21T14:52:18.973-04:002013-03-21T14:52:18.973-04:00They were forced to close because they lost their ...They were forced to close because they lost their lease.
