Big Planet College Park sells to Third Eye Comics

I guess this isn't really a surprise as Peter has been an absentee owner for years, and the store was bought into the chain in the first place. But I'm still somewhat shocked by this first reduction in the BP chain in over a decade (since the Georgetown store relocated to U St), while glad the store isn't just closing completely. Here's the announcement:
