Storyopolis Shuttering (Temporarily)

Racked is no longer publishing. Thank you to everyone who read our work over the years. The archives will remain available here; for new stories, head over to Vox.com, where our staff is covering consumer culture for The Goods by Vox. You can also see what we’re up to by signing up here.

Well, it seems we've come to the end of our Storyopolis. (Sorry, couldn't resist). One trusted tipster shares, "Storyopolis? I stopped by the Ventura Boulevard location and it was a mess. They said they were doing inventory and were about to close for a week and will probably stay closed. Sad!"

A salesperson at the sweet neighborhood children's bookshop confirms that they may not be opening up post-inventory in the same location, but, "We're definitely NOT going out of business!" We'll all look forward to the next chapter. [Racked Inbox]
