Russo’s Books, the city’s only independent book store chain, is closing its downtown location at 1416 17th St. after 12 years in business. The store in the Haberfelde Building is liquidating all its merchandise. The owner said in the slow economy, there just wasn't enough business to keep all three of the chain's Bakersfield locations open. The family-owned company still operates two other stores in The Marketplace, 9000 Ming Ave.; and East Hills Mall, 3000 Mall View Rd. Those will remain, as will the Internet sales.
