As I mentioned in an earlier post, I too spent a lot of time at that book store. Mostly browsing but occasionally buying something. Brings back a lot of memories of the years I worked downtown and left a lot of shoe leather on those sidewalks. The barber shop next door reminds me. Wasn’t there a large barber shop on directly across the street? I never went in there but I remember it being very large with two rows of chairs, maybe 6 or so per side.
Seems as that kind of a place would have had its share of noir being so close to Bunker Hill.
