Longfellow Books falls victim to Nemo, Blizzard of 2013

"Water is no friend to a book."  Chris Bowe, Longfellow Books

During the blizzard this weekend, a window in the floor above the store blew open overnight.  The pipes froze and set the sprinkler system off.  Then all hell broke loose.

When I watch the video, I see the pain on Chris' face.  I can't know the extent of his pain, because these aren't just books he loves, this is his livelihood.  I know that I would have terrible grief for my books if we had a horrible incident at our home.


 

This absolutely breaks my heart.  It's one of my favorite haunts on a lunchtime walk.

I'm still a very loyal customer! 

Longfellow Books, Resurgam!
