Not an extension of Mac McGee’s. Also, the sign in the window is not the logo, just a teaser for us passersby. Of course, the fellow may have been just some guy hangin around. FWIW.

I also thought of that CD store/pub idea when someone mentioned this book store pub thing-y.

It’s not that far-out a concept. Both are/were “third-places” for various communities, and today many indie bookshops are looking for ways to supplement profits that have been lost to Amazon to remain the hub of a community.

Many have done it with coffee. I guess alcohol is just the next step.

I can already see it: Tuesday nights are “Random Book Reading” night. What piece of drivel will we pull off the community bookshelves this evening?
