Booze & Books
"Take that, Amazon! Barnes & Noble hopes that booze will lure book lovers back to its stores.
Barnes & Noble announced Thursday that it planned to open four new concept stores this fiscal year that will have an expanded food menu -- and also serve beer and wine. But no vodka. Sorry, Chelsea Handler. The first store will open in Eastchester, NY in October. Three more are set to open at the Edina Galleria in Edina, MN, the Palladio in Folsom, CA, and at One Loudon in Loudon, VA." |

When my sisters and I reached our teen years, our father would pay us to shop for him for my mom's birthday/Christmas/anniversary gift. He didn't have to go to the mall, my sisters and I made a little extra $ and my mother didn't get a weed whacker, tape measure or some other unwanted gift that my father thought would be useful. It was a win-win for all parties.

I opt out of drinking booze and reading books. I did it once and couldn't remember what I read.

I quit drinking but continue to read..still have a hard time remembering..sometimes reading half of a book and then realize I've read it before! We missed out on renting in TV this winter. Looking like a desert experience for a change. Green Valley in January...

Bonwit Teller...I haven't heard that name in quite a while. I think their store in Chicago was in the John Hancock building. I haven't shopped on Michigan Avenue in quite some time...saving money for my future home in The Villages
Woodfield Mall is a lot closer |

Are you certain? There's a high probability your wine has a book club problem. [emoji41] Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
