Dan Merritt Sure Sounds Together In This Borders Article

Here. The writer for the local Dearborn paper talks to retailers that might ostensibly benefit from the closure of that city's Borders. Merritt not only says that his Green Brain long ago learned to live in the same market as the national chain, he goes on to explain why their presence was beneficial to what he does, expresses civic sympathy for the loss of a fellow Dearborn business and then unpacks in concise fashion why comic stores are better than bookstores in terms of serving local customers and why he doesn't do commerce on-line. If there were an election for the King Of Comics coming up later this month, on the basis of this article alone we might see a Draft Dan Merritt movement.
