Scuppernong Books has been a great 3rd space downtown since it opened in 2013. Over the last 12 years, they have had many community events, some ongoing and more like pop-ups. . Last weekend, we visited the bookstore and spent a great deal of time perusing the used book section in the back. The used section is even more appreciated, now that McKays is no longer in Greensboro. Both the new and used book sections are very nicely curated. You will find books there that are not in your average, corporate, chain bookstore.
As we took a break from reading, we noticed how lovely the alley behind the bookstore looked on the overcast day. Gina Franco painted it and named it Rainbow Alley. That painted asphalt is so cheerful and. The building behind the truck is the Biltmore Hotel, which has a tremendous history all of its own and many different purposes since being built in 1903. We still need to feature the interior of the Biltmore. Maybe this weekend.
Happy Thursday!
