Local Bookstore

For over a year we have been worried that our local bookstore was not going to survive. Rent where it was located was going up. Foot traffic was not what it had been. Tourists aren't coming to Tahoe in the droves they used to. So the store's owner was conflicted: to move? to close entirely? to sell to someone else?

Finally last week word came through their newsletter that they would be closed for two days in order to move to a smaller, more convenient location across the street and down a bit from where they were. Yay! :D

Dean and I dropped by late yesterday afternoon. There were still boxes stacked here and there. Shelves were still being installed. They had yet to find a place for the crossword puzzle books. And they were open!!! And settling in. I like the space. Smaller yes and with good energy. On a lower floor right off the parking lot where folks walking around this little area can just drop in without having to climb stairs and "find" them. (No, that opinion has nothing to do with the way my hip feels climbing stairs right now!)

Bought a couple of books for me, a couple for the grands and just enjoyed getting to know the new space. I look forward to going back when I can wander pain free. By then they will have found the crossword space. :) -- with blessings
