Murder One is to close.
Done to death by the lying b*st*rd landlords who told them that the building was being demolished and kicked them out. Of course, it's not, it's still going strong, with some new businesses in there. It's one of the newer buildings in the area; I always found the "news" unlikely.
To be honest, I'd not been in the new place. I was a regular in the old one, because of its huge, excellent SF section - but that had to be dropped in the new place, for lack of room.
I can't help but wonder if these two facts are connected.
No SF => less business => closure...?
Damned sad news, anyway. The Book Inn went years ago, after their fire; uninsured, I believe. Now Murder One. Where else is there apart from Fantasy Centre and Forbidden Planet?
Ironically, I heard the news from FP's very own
