Yesterday I spent the afternoon with my dearest KP.
We planned a tour of Harrisburg, which included a first time visit to the Midtown Scholar and a delicious dinner at Neato Burrito.
We also meant to hit up the downtown branch of Dauphin County Library and the State Library, but we {forgot} & ended up running out of daylight.
But, let me just say:
HOW DID I NOT KNOW ABOUT THE MIDTOWN SCHOLAR??
It's so beautiful!
Books everywhere!
Holy freaking crap.
I want to live there.
I have never been more serious about anything in my entire life.
I bought 2 books:
- Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows {hardback} $7.95
- Mr. Sammler's Planet {by Saul Bellow, my favs.} $7.95
Pretty much the greatest thing ever.
I KNOW!!!!!! i love midtown scholar! soooo mad i couldn't go with you two...
ReplyDeletealso.... now i know why Saul is one of your favorite names.
is the book good? what's it about?
p.s.- lauren and i have discussed this, but midtown is pretty much exactly what we see your bookstore/cafe/gallery looking like if you opened one.
