Borders Bankruptcy leads to store closings in DC, MD, and VA

The bankruptcy of the Borders Company will result in the closing of 200 stores across the United States. In the DC region, stores in DC at 18th and L Street NW Downtown and in Friendship Heights on Wisconsin Avenue will be closing (another store downtown closed a couple years ago), as will stores in Bowie, on Rockville Pike/Kensington and the Boulevard at Cap Centre in Largo in Maryland, and in Vienna in Northern Virginia (other stores are closing elsewhere in Virginia).
