Barnes & Noble is a great big box store and a fun place to hang around. It is well lit and easy to navigate, with a huge selection of books, toys, games, and other cool geek culture items. The store includes a Starbucks and has interesting book displays. The staff is always the best part, described as very helpful and quirky. Some note the sci-fi section can be hard to find and the book selection is very mainstream. Others wish for a larger hobby or gardening area, but find it a good place to spend time.
