Serendipity

Wound up at the Lucy Parsons Center earlier today (because they're having a sale in advance of their move to Jamaica Plain*) and walked out with a copy of Streets of Hope: The Fall and Rise of an Urban Neighborhood, which is about the Dudley Street Neighborhood Initiative. Which is awesome because I'm about to start processing a collection that's pretty much all about the DSNI.

(In case you hadn't noticed, I am sometimes overinvested in my job.)

* Pretty sure I bought the "history of queer rock bands" mentioned in that article, too. HomoCore: The Loud and Raucous Rise of Queer Rock, which was prominently displayed in the front room.

I have added "HomoCore" to my amazon wish list :-)

(I really feel like I should review those two books since I posted about them, but I don't actually have any clue how to review a book.)

That sounds really cool. :-D

Heh, which part? :)

The whole thing! The bookstore, scoring a sweet book, all that jazz. :-D

I am actually really glad they're coming to JP, even if it is one of the neighborhoods furthest from where I live. This is because I love JP and want it to have All The Awesome Things.
