Writer's Block: Shops Gone By
Jan. 12th, 2009 12:25 pm[Error: unknown template qotd]I miss the Woolworth's lunch counter, but not much else. I used to go there for a cheap meal and be the youngest person sitting at the counter. They had good fried chicken.
The businesses I miss most are the tiny, wacky ones. Craig Legg used to own a bookstore near my apartment in Southside that had a happy hour. Every Friday the real congergation would get a few six-packs from the store next door, and people would drink and recite their favorite poems. The "stage" for the poetry was a stepstool. If anyone does the history of bohemian Birmingham, they've got to mention that store.
