kinda crazy to think that bookstores exist

My end game when its all over is to own one of these. 

Bookstore & Cafe (speakeasy after hours)
- a place to stock my friends books, art, physical goods
- a place to gather and host workshops and other events 
- a place to discover unique literary works from all over the world
- a place that can be a refuge for political dissidents (esp when speaking out against injustice) 

I tried my hand at owning a bookstore out of my loft apartment in Nashville on weekends and I never stopped thinking about it since.

I was in an actual mall yesterday (they still exist in VA) & there was a huge line, & it was for a bookstore opening. Barnes & Noble even, which I thought were closing. Not the same as what you’re describing but did remind me people want human connections, even if it’s leading through books next to strangers.
