Any idea on when?
Didn't say yet - looks like the permitting process is underway but no formal announcement. I'll keep me eyes peeled.

Eh, paper books and places that sell them have far more staying power than other physical media. Doesn't mean this place will be a success but it's also not really analogous with places like Blockbuster.
Nice...hope they get a blockbuster next.
Yeah, I've read that independent bookstores are actually doing pretty well in the Amazon age. Places like Porter Square books have a significant "live" component: they hold events and readings and signings (for kids and adults) and also have a "coffee shop" element (with the associated revenue). They're places you go to buy books, but also to hang out and talk about books and learn about books.
The independent bookstores that only offered books for sale and nothing else were already taken out by chains like Barnes & Nobles and Borders in the 90s. Now in the 21st century, Amazon has pretty much taken out those books-as-commodities chains in turn. But the bookstores that offered enough valuable services to survive the chain onslaught in the 90s actually face less direct competition on their model from Amazon today than they did from Barnes & Nobles a decade or two ago.
Seaport is an odd place for PS Books, a rather elite capitalist location. Don’t think there’ll be quite as many SJWs fomenting revolution there.
Nope, just people buying books.
Drinking coffee, buying books. Win, win.
Waterside Place would like to host a vet clinic instead of an "innovation" tenant on its first floor. Gave up most of the "innovation" space a few years ago for a neighborhood health center.
