I'm opening a bookstore in the old Red Star Ironworks garage at 4810 Penn Avenue. We're starting out with 3400 books, and there'll be plenty more on the way, courtesy of Robert Richards of Riverrun Books (formerly of Carson St., now in Greensboro, PA). Lots of art and music books, sciences, sports, some poetry videos, hunting, fishing, philosophy, literature, history, ephemera, you name it. EVERYTHING IS 50% OFF THE LISTED PRICE!!!

Hours are Saturdays from noon til 5 pm.

There will also be a painting party for the Pittsburgh Beautification Project. Kids are welcome. Open from 7 pm till midnite.
