The Elliot Bay bookstore is closed? That saddens me. Spent many an hour reading and writing in the little cafe just below street level.
Is the Harvard Exit still open? Off of Harvard and Broadway on Capital Hill?

Monty Python's Meaning of Life was the last film I saw there. 1983. --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, Denise Evans <dmevans365@...> wrote: > > Time is marching on...the bookstore in Pioneer Square you are probably > thinking about was the Elliot Bay bookstore; a great place and no longer, > sadly.
