There is this big corner house maybe 8 blocks from here that has been extensively remodeled and has a cow skull over the middle door of a three car garage. It also has this little shop downstairs and out front right on the street.

I bet the shop has many wonderful stories to tell of the immigrant families that lived here in the last half of the 1800s. This is that storefront.

I am bookmarking The Millions author posts about their reading. I am particularly interested in Jane Hirschfield's take on Anne Carson's new sort of more than a book.
