​This morning Robert Dyer reported that Brookstone in Montgomery Mall will be closing permanently on January 30th (robertdyer.blogspot.com/2018/01/brookstone-to-close-at-westfield.html).

I worked at that Brookstone for about 6 months in the early-2000s. I remember a few of us that worked there would call Sharper Image at the end of the night and tell them that the products at Brookstone were better. Immature, I know, but I was an 18 year old college student trying to pass the time.
