Kepler's

This is a cool article about Kepler's in Menlo Park and how it shut down and then reopened. Shades of You've Got Mail - although my mom will remind me it's actually shades of The Shop Around the Corner.

I remember a cute bookstore (overpriced but cute, with a great paper-doll selection) in Whittier that shut down when I was a kid. If only Whittier had half the energy and dedication to overpriced culture that Palo Alto/Menlo Park had. Makes me feel bad for buying Amazon (not to mention the fact that they're Republican).

Thanks to Bookslut for the link.
