The Bwog
Labyrinth no longer

Bwog just got wind of a terrible bit of news: Our local Labyrinth branch will soon be called Book Culture due to a business dispute with its other incarnation in New Haven.

A call to the store revealed that they plan to make the switch at the end of the week. Far be it from us to criticize branding methods, but Book Culture? Come on.

@#$ing serious??? I thought it was the EXACT SAME STORE? I thought the deal was that Columbia was looking for something to go there, and literally CALLED UP the Yale branch and asked if they wanted to open an outpost in the space?

This is beyond retarded. I'm assuming everyone will just keep calling it Labyrinth. I certainly will.

The building is temporary, so I guess the name might as well be too.

HOORAY FOR FREE ADVERTISING OF AN INFERIOR SERVICE

Please, Profs, use the fucking Columbia bookstore. Sure it's a Barnes & Noble in disguise, but at least it's accountable for getting our books in!
