Earlier this week, Hudson Booksellers opened a revamped shop on the first floor of Chicago's Ogilvie Transportation Center in what had previously been a Waldenbooks. The space "has served as a bookstore for almost as long as Ogilvie has existed," the Chicago Journal reported, noting that "even when Borders shut down most of its Chicago branches, the location remained open, surviving all the way until the company's final liquidation."
"A lot of people are coming in, saying they’ve been waiting since January," said store manager Josh Stevens, "and that they are glad the store finally opened." Hudson Group had opened the shop last October, using the original Waldenbooks fixtures, but closed in January for renovations to match the company's other locations.
