The Surprising Rise of Local Bookshops Creates New Communities - KC STUDIO
It's a sunny Saturday afternoon after the holidays, and a dozen people are browsing the shelves of Kansas City's newest bookstore. Called Wise Blood, after the Flannery O'Connor novel, the cozy Westport shop is an offshoot of the Mills Record Company, a vinyl-friendly retail institution around the corner on Broadway.
What are books?

ReplyDeleteIf anyone doubts bookstores can make it in the modern world, I'd suggest a trip to any of the Half Price Book stores--especially when they have a sale.
ReplyDeleteOn the other hand, maybe it would be better if most TKC posters stay out of polite society. BTW, thanks again, Tony, for giving these losers something to keep them occupied!

Republicans don't read books, they only watch Fox. That is why they're so fucking ignorant.
ReplyDelete^^^ Understanding the world completely leads one to become more conservative as they mature. Sadly something you are still working on.
ReplyDelete^^^ Understanding the world huh? Like recognizing Fascist/Authoritarian governments? People not in the cult can see parallels from the past to the current Fascist. The cult only knows what Fox tells them. Those same ignoramuses are conservatives.
ReplyDeleteCNN = Clinton News Network
ReplyDeleteHillary had a special server, deleted tens of thousands of emails, and physically destroyed phones and laptops after a subpoena. Then she's not punished for anything. What a joke.
^^^^And yet Hillary is not in any public office and has nothing to do with this thread. Weird.
ReplyDelete^^^^And Jeffrey Epstein didn’t kill himself. Weird.
ReplyDelete^^^^ Epstein was killed by Trump's DOJ. Epstein's murder goes all the way to Trump.
