  4. Oh, it does have a certain character. Makes me think of the book shop in the old market in Omaha.

  5. I like this building -- and it's great to see spots that have been there a long time. (Also love the name Letterkenny, too!)

  7. News Agent? This shop is from a time when we used to read newspapers. Sadly that time is long past. Your photo is a good reminder of what used to be.

  8. Yes they have been forced to take a different path to keep their heads above water but still keep the name alive. Nice.

  13. I so wish there were more of those old-timey stores here in the States. Most have gone the way of the dinosaurs. Great photo, Bill!

  21. What a captivating story! The winery setting creates such a rich atmosphere, and the little details, like the chant from the vines and the wine labels as art, really bring the scene to life. It’s wonderful how the event turned out to be both successful and memorable. Cheers to the perfect combination of tradition, elegance, and hard work!
