HAPPY HALLOWEEN

 

Revisiting a previous post sharing one of our favorite places.  Sadly, the last time we passed by, the bookstore had permanently closed.

This was our all-time favorite bookstore in Old Town Manassas, not only for the great selection of books they stocked, but for all the wonderful knickknacks filling every corner.

The building is very old and has so much character, from the ceiling tiles to the lighting fixtures, and the tiny rooms that were filled floor to ceiling with yet even more books.

We will be sharing candy tonight.  Because of the Pandemic most people in our neighborhood will be filling a container and leaving it outside on their front step. The children can help themselves and hopefully take only one piece so that others will be able to have their fair share.  That's what we will do.  Hopefully we won't run out.

If you are celebrating Halloween, please have a happy and safe one, and thanks for stopping by.

Added note 11-1-20: no one came last night.  It poured down with rain.
