I asked one of the owners of Booklegger, the shop down the block from mine, what--based on her many years' of experience--she thought the current economic mess would mean for our businesses. She replied that the woman who started Booklegger 25 years ago always said that in bad times two types of businesses always do well: Used bookstores and ice cream shops. If you can't afford dinner and a movie, a good novel and a chocolate sundae will do the trick.
I hope she's right.

Those are my two favorite shops in the best of times!
