Instead of setting the table, taking showers in a timely manner, answering when I ask them a question ... they get lost in them! Jenners - we went in again last night (J and I) for a nice dinner and book shopping. I came home with only two. We may have aged, but we still know how to have a fun night out. Serena - one of the books I picked up last night was from the lower level; what a bargain! Alterity - I try to support our local businesses whenever possible. Sometimes I resort to online ordering.

Sounds like a terrific bookstore not to mention it has fond memories for you. I love that your kids are into books-it's always good to hear that. Great post Dawn!

Hubby and I would always go by and visit it when we went to Georgia to visit our moms. :( This sounds like a really great bookstore! My favorite bookstore closed down last year.

So many shops, restaurants, and (gasp!) and other bookstore haunts in Harvard Square had gone out over that period. It's reassuring that it's so stable. Dorte - and when I tell my older kids they need to shop with their own money, you know they choose carefully (and check out the used books!) Ti - some of my "when I was a kid" tours aren't as popular. We've picnicked at my former elementary school; only to be disappointed that the playground had changed so much! (of course, the equipment I played on eons ago was probably hazardous!) zibilee - they make use of every inch of space, high and low. Kathy - it's a good excuse to travel, isn't it!? Liyana - thank you :) stacy - and the used books are organized. If you have a list it's easy to see if they have what you want. Sandy - if you're ever in Cambridge, I'll meet you there. Amy - ditto what I told Sandy :) Yes, these kids are definitely too fond of books!
