The New Indie Bookstore In Town

February 26, 2008 | 10:59 am

Actually its right outside the current city limits.

According to paint on the windows of the old Chapter 11 bookstore in the Publix shopping plaza on N. Decatur Road, a new bookstore called The Blue Elephant will be taking over the space.

The all-knowing window paint also proclaims a March 8th opening.

I’m always glad to see another local bookstore!

(NOTE: The Blue Elephant above has nothing to do with the coming bookstore, but since I couldn’t find any info about the new store online I decided to post the next best thing: A random, cute blue elephant doll! BTW…the pic is courtesy of ElephantCare.org)
