Borders beyond Borders
A few pieces of furniture from the Montclair Borders store have turned up locally in other businesses.
Rhino Records in Claremont snagged three bookcases, which the store is using for its expanded books section, both new and used, as seen at left.
Malibu Bagel in Upland got several tables and chairs from the Borders cafe for customer seating. This table and chairs, seen below, is from the store and it looks like the table at right and the chairs in the corner match them. Thanks to reader Chuck Barnett for the tip.
If you really, really, miss Borders, you could buy a book at Rhino, read it at Malibu Bagel and reminisce about the days of yore.

My fiancee and I just stopped at the one at Victoria Gardens yesterday, they are in the final days of their liquidation sale. It really is sad to watch this happen. I've always liked Borders, I hope Barnes and Noble can survive.
I really, really miss Borders! If I knew where the Chino Borders furniture ended up, I might make an effort to go visit those pieces. It would be like visiting an old friend. Sigh.
