We shut down the store...and here's why

Your local independent bookseller attended the New Albany City Council meeting on Thursday evening. If you were inconvenienced by the store's closing, I extend my sincere apologies.

You may be interested to know that the council approved a bond issue for the downtown redevelopment project known as Scribner Place. If you have the chance, congratulate those council members who voted for the resolution: Jack Messer, Donnie Blevins, Beverly Crump, Jeff Gahan, Larry Kochert, and Mark Seabrook.

A unanimous council also approved funding for a full-time ordinance enforcement officer that evening. This is just the beginning, folks. As our friends at Develop New Albany say, The Renaissance Begins!
