Footage of people browsing books, at the coffee shop, sampling CD's. This is a big quiet store complete with an escalator. #borders #matildas #goosebumps
Our local Borders was hopping on Friday and Saturday nights back then. It was an amazing, packed social experience. I got several first dates there browsing books.
@@vampireroboti miss the 90s so so so badly. I dreamed of visiting America in the 90s..it was my dream..America was the promise land of everything awesome and cool. Didnt end up going and the whole west is going down the drain so the dream is gone. Am sure America kids - young adults had an amazing time in america in the 80s 90s. Thanks for the video
I love and miss bookstores. At the time of this post there's only one "near" me and that's a Barnes and Noble roughly 90 minutes away almost across state lines. I loved being inside Borders, it was my favorite bookstore. So cozy and relaxed and comfortable. This is nice footage to see.
I am sitting here watching footage from 1997 of people I don’t know walking around a book store .. and I am enjoying it. Life is strange Thanks for these clips - many of them give me a bittersweet feeling
In the 1980’s and 1990’s, I used to shop for books for my children at Borders. Really miss these stores. Thank you for this video. It brings back lots of memories.
I had a Borders near where I live in Australia, I could stay in there for, sit down on their incredibly comfortable chairs and pretty much read the books that weren't wrapped in plastic, thankfully that was only a few of them, really miss the place alot!
There was this Bible bookstore that my dad and I would go to every Wednesday or Thursday night before church. I would go get veggie tale tapes, and other veggie tale things. That store closed unfortunately but I miss it so much!
@@baxatakbaxatak2014 2001-2004 was amazing. Oh and the human race is a lie. We are a human species. We are all different. But yeah, the attacks on humanity by a certain group were very successful at 2010+
I really miss the old Half Price bookstore in my neighborhood. That place with the creaky wood floors and aged and weathered shelves always gave off a feeling of peace and safety. Loose yourself in a few titles for an hour or so and chances were you would always find something interesting and for a great deal. We failed the new generation by removing these timeless places.
man, i loved borders when i was a kid. i'd go right to the kids section to look at the goosebumps books, they had them all. when i was a little older i graduated to the fear street series lol. when they put in the cafe it was a big deal, i'd get the "mocha freeze"
To put things into perspective: * Mom pushes baby around in stroller in Borders. Today that toddler is TWENTY-SIX and likely has a kid who's 8 years old. 😮 * someone is on their third pet * someone took out a mortgage then, and it's close to being paid off
I'm not sure if Huntsville, Alabama got a Borders. If so, I didn't pay attention when I was younger. We may have had one in the mall. Books a Million and Barnes & Noble outcompeted Borders.
Where is this? There was a 2 story location with escalators in Omaha, Neb. situated in the SE corner of 72nd & Dodge, across the street from Crossroads Mall which had it's own B & N store incorporated.
I don't understand why the camera person doesn't explain themselves. "What are you doing? Excuse me" as he's interrupting the barista's work, could be prevented by simply saying what he intends to do, then pressing record.
