Smiling faces

I caught Felice Dubin and friend Forest, outside The Bookstore, enjoying the crowds last weekend.

I think of all the things that happened this past holiday season, the best was probably the opening of The Bookstore in the Grove. Felice has a lot to be proud of. She was able to get the store open before Thanksgiving, which was the smartest thing to do. It was crowded throughout the holiday season.

The location is perfect. They have that grand entrance on Grand Avenue (where else?) and the side street, Virginia, is turning out to be quite a great hangout location for Grove residents, even musicians feel comfortable sitting outside, strumming their guitars and drums.
