We're not sure we should be tickled or depressed that the opening of a bookstore in Ann Arbor's downtown should be regarded as feature-worthy big news. No one seems to blink an eye when a new cupcake joint moves in.
Excerpt:
"The last few years haven't been easy for book lovers in the college town of Ann Arbor, Mich. Not only did they lose Borders Books' flagship store, which closed when the company went out of business in 2011, but they've also suffered the departure of the campus retailer Michigan Book & Supply and the Shaman Drum bookstore. Fortunately, there's a happy twist to this sad tale; a new independent bookstore will soon be opening its doors near the University of Michigan in the city's downtown."
