This too shall pass
A long time ago when I was outraged by Amazon (before they were actually helping support independent bookstores) and fearing and loathing Barnes & Nobles and Borders, I never would have thought that I would bear witness to the closure of the mega bookstore and the rise, yes dear lord the rise of the independents. Maple Street Bookstore opened in the Healing Center – I bought a book for my friend I’m seeing in San Francisco – the Power of Now (pass it on) and it is opening in Mid City – is that possible? Is it possible that right here on Ponce de Leon Avenue, we are FIGHTING THE STUPIDS? I got my bumpersticker with my purchase yesterday and can’t wait to put it on Old Blue and wear it loud, wear it proud.
We are getting a small independent bookstore in our neighborhood. Ha!
