I just wanted to point out that a feature story I wrote about two independent bookstores in Syracuse has been published on LivableCNY.com, a website that celebrates the people, places, businesses and leaders that make Central New York a special place to live and work. You can read the story here.
The story includes some photographs of the two stores, and I have added a few extra shots here. Thanks for taking a look.
