The discounts are getting deeper at Daedalus, the bookstore in Belvedere Square in North Baltimore. Why? Because the store is going the way of many independents -- and many Borders outlets.
The store's last day is May 15th, and prices have been cut an additional 30 percent on books, CDs, DVDs, and other merchandise.
Daedalus was a nice place to browse while waiting for a movie at the Senator -- and it's too bad the store couldn't sustain itself until the movie theater's expansion plans are realized. But I admit that since I moved from Stoneleigh, I get over to that part of town less and less often. Still, like many Read Streeters, I hate to see another option for book lovers closing.
