Bookcourt.
I thought this was a photo. It is not. What is it? It’s my neighborhood bookstore, located at 163 Court Street. I have spent many hours inside this place. It is in the same category as manatees, endangered and a little bit mystical but very real. I could be that girl, standing out front.
