This post is dedicated to The Regulator, my favorite bookstore in the Triangle.
“I’m so glad you’re still here,” I said, 18 years after first setting foot in the place.
“We’re glad we’re still here!” one of the two gray-haired gentlemen working the register volleyed.
I didn’t say anything about how I thought they had used tapes once, way back when.
Shuffle
I’ve been keeping up with the bookstore shuffle back in our former neighborhood of Capitol Hill in Seattle. Word is that Elliot Bay Book Co. is set to move in now that Bailey Coy is closed.
I’m glad the place I’m from has one bookstore that goes way back to 1974, and it’s still in the same spot where I left it.
History of a place
Ninth Street is a big deal for DK.
This is where I had my first date, in high school, and forgot to go to English class.
Ninth Street is also where I first started working with Akira on Design Kompany—waaaaaay later—when I moved in with him and his cat. And that was the beginning of it all…
Happen to be in Durham? Check out The Regulator bookstore.
