Oxnard Borders is closing
I remember when Oxnard Esplanade first opened about 10 years ago. This shopping center still smells like new. With new homes at River Park and widened freeway, Oxnard is looking better all the time. It’s the fastest growing city in Ventura County.
Sadly, Internet technology is changing how we shop. People shop online rather than shopping at local stores. Circuit City shut down a few years ago at Oxnard Esplanade. Now Borders is closing. I went to borders for a cup of coffee and found out that entire store became a bargain bin. Coffee shop was all gutted out.
I hate to see these stores disappearing. And I find it ironic that I build websites with shopping carts so more people will shop online. But, what can I do? I cannot fight the world. I’m just a web designer.
