Opry Mills needs a bookstore

Almost three years ago, I wrote a letter in which I expressed my hope that Opry Mills would reopen after the devastating flood of May 2010. At the time I wrote the letter, it was Christmas and I was saddened that the mall was dark and lifeless.

A year and a half ago, it did indeed reopen! It's wonderful that the outlet mall, without big-box stores as anchors, is a one-of-a-kind place available for shopping, strolling, great eateries!

But I have one more wish, and I think a lot of people would agree: There's a hole that hasn't been filled, the hole left by the loss of Barnes & Noble. I realize there are financial aspects to be considered, but losing the bookstore in the mall is considerable. It was beneficial in many respects.
