Just like this blog, the historic Greensfelder building is once again under construction. Soon it will be home to something truly wonderful, a place of knowledge, whimsy, and adventure. An independent bookstore is coming soon to Logansport Indiana. Please check back to see the progress of the building's revitalization as I take an empty shell of a building and make it into Some Kind of Wonderful.
What a beautiful building! I'm sure that once it is completed, it will indeed me Some Kind of Wonderful!
ReplyDeleteAwesome news! This is such fab news for readers. Logansport is one lucky town!
ReplyDeleteThis is going to be wonderful alright. Congrats!
ReplyDeleteThank you! It's just the beginning. I will post more pictures of the construction as they happen. You're support means so much!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds amazing. I'm excited to watch the progress and SO envious of this project!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! What an amazing adventure!
ReplyDeleteKitty! I want to come shop! And I have a contact for you - Crissy Nettles in Monroeville, Alabama, who 3 years ago renovated a building and opened Beehive Coffee & Books. Emphasis on the coffee... she says it's what sustains her book business. Look for her store page on Facebook - I bet she'd have some great tips for you! CONGRATULATIONS!!
ReplyDeleteHooray!!! A new Indie Bookstore! The world can always use another one of those! Congrat's and the best of luck to you!
ReplyDeleteSo gorgeous!! I can't wait to visit! :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful building! It looks perfect. Sending you lots of luck and good wishes!! I'll have to come up with an excuse to go to Indiana :)
ReplyDeleteHuge HUGE congrats, Kitty! Can't wait to come and visit!
ReplyDeleteSo excited for you, Kitty! Can't wait to see pics as things progress. Looking forward to the Grand Opening!
ReplyDeleteWelcome to Logansport! I'm so excited to hear about your vision for this wonderful building in our downtown. I recently opened "Savanah Vintage", an antiques & art boutique in an 1887 Victorian home just a couple of blocks from the Greensfelder Building. Can't wait to meet you. Stop in soon and see me at 218 Eel River in the Bankers Row Historic District. Teri Hawes
ReplyDeleteFantastic news!!! Congratulations!!!
ReplyDeleteWelcome our Town.
ReplyDeleteThank you for all the wonderful comments. I just received the keys yesterday! (Little happy dance!) And my coffee samples came in the mail as well. My house smells so rich and full of flavor right now. I wish I had smell-o-vision so I could share it.
ReplyDeleteThe construction will start soon. I will be posting some "before pics" soon, too. Just waiting for them to be sent to me!
Yay!!! I cannot wait to see this bookstore. I am an avid reader and when Walden's closed down I had to rely on Wal-Mart. But Wal-Mart does not always get in the kind of books I like. I was hoping that in the future to do something of this sort once I completed my degree at Ivy Tech but I'm glad that someone is doing this now.
ReplyDeleteAwesome!!!! We need a good bookstore.
ReplyDeleteI'm really excited about having our own bookstore. It's a pain to have to go out of town everytime you need a book. Logansport needs this in the worst way. loganskid and I will haunt the place. Really!
ReplyDeleteHow exciting this is....and a coffee shop to boot!!! Thanks for giving Logansport a chance!
ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteHeard about this from my wife a couple of days ago.Very excited! I read a lot,(mostly out-of-print horror paperbacks and magazines),but love the idea of having someplace new to go downtown, instead of having to take myself to Kokomo, or pay Amazon's ridiculous shipping prices every time I want to read something.
I hope you will eventually sell Blu-Ray/DVDs,as Wal-mart is Cass County's only resource.Some of the less-mainstream titles would be stellar. Film magazines, (like Fangoria/Rue Morgue)would also be on my wish list. Can't wait to see this come to fruition.
However you choose to do it, it'll be great.
Chris
Super excited that you are coming to Logansport!!
ReplyDeleteMarie, I can't believe you're coming to Logansport with a bookstore! This is what we've been needing since Waldenbooks was forced to leave town, and what's better is that this isn't going to be on the east side of town but rather downtown! I can only hope SKOW will attract more businesses along Market and Broadway and fill up those empty store fronts and lots.
ReplyDeleteAs a fellow author (still in training, though), welcome and good luck in your endeavors! I'll definitely be stopping by several times a week once the doors are open! :)
So happy that you are making your dreams come true! This is awesome for Logansport! Can't wait to visit your store and shop around. Good Luck!
ReplyDeleteAny updates? Lots of folks asking me if I know what's happening so thought I'd check in. Hope to see you soon! Teri
