FWIW the Magnolia I frequent is a standalone store like the original ones in Seattle. I agree that the ones inside BB are not noteworthy. The store I frequent has a lot of pluses: knowledgeable staff, great inventory, very nice display of the latest products, etc. I'm glad it's close to where I work, otherwise it would be a REAL pain to take advantage of them as a resource.
