Urban Bookstore Pligrimages
I realized, on this last trip, that when I travel, I inevitably end up at the certain favorite bookstores.
In Cambridge, I make a point of visiting the MIT Press Book Store, and Wordsworth.
In Chicago, I've got to go to Quimby's. And the Seminary Co-op might prove necessary on future itineraries. (Thanks, Betsy!)
New York City? Gotham Book Mart. (Looks like they might be moving.)
Washington, D.C.? Kramerbooks and Afterwords cafe.
In Portland, well, it's just too obvious.
Huh. The other cities I often return to are Austin and L.A. And while I like The Book People in Austin, it's never been very compelling (unlike, say, sitting outside at Jo's.)
