Opening December 16; Second Chances Used Books
Update: Sometimes a typo takes on meaning. I wrongly titled this “Second Changes,” originally. While I like that, it’s not the name of the store. Brandy is opening a used bookstore in the location of the old Mockingbird Books. Brandy … Continue reading
