    1. Hi Alex!

      Definitely worth a visit - or two. The locals love it, and tourists keep coming back.

    How've ya been?

    I've been mostly absent from the Blogosphere, but I'm trying to catch up a bit right now.

    I really like your A To Z theme -- bookstores and libraries -- what a neat idea, and for someone like you, it's a natural!

    A few blog bits back you posted the following quote which I agree with 100% :

    “Reading is essential for those who seek to rise above the ordinary”
    ~ Jim Rohn


    Sadly, most bookstores have gone the way of the Stegosaurus and the Triceratops. But, as I'm sure you have, I used to get lost in them for hours at a time.

    I hope you're having a terrific weekend, my friend!

    1. Good to see you, Stephen T!

      Bookstores, especially small Indy-owned shops are some of my favorite haunts, as it were. I love rare finds and free inspiration ;-)

      Hope you're having a favorable April!
