RIP “The Oaks” - thatguy - 11-12-2021
Home to “A Clean Well Lighted Place for Books”
I talked to my mom this afternoon and she said it’s about 1/2 torn down now to make way for a 5 story building.

I've been seeing the tear down on FB. Very sad. Although, I probably haven't frequented the Oaks in 25 years or so.

It was at least half empty for years. Just before lockdown, a dance school had most of the back, but half the front was empty.
I believe they've been wanting to re-do it for years.

Kind of a problem spot. Poor parking. Bad access. Great bookstore. I was thinking it was done in by Crown books.
