What I want....
I want to have a kid, and to raise her (of course the kid is a girl-kid) in my used bookstore, where I also run a fabulous Atlanta reading series. My bookstore becomes a sort of Salon for the ITP crowd, and my girl-kid is raised by a wonderful crew of brilliant writers and thinkers. I never have to "go to work" and my dog can out out too.
But seriously, what would it cost me to open a used book store in East Atlanta Village? We could also sell books by local authors, and have a kickass newsstand with all manner of crazy litmags...
Seriously, what would it entail?

I don't know how much it would cost, but I will give some free jewishy advice. Establish your bookstore as a nonprofit from the get-go. Set it up as a literary center with a public mission and that way you can supplement your revenues with grants. That way your customers get the pleasant feeling of have both satisfied the consumer urge AND contributed to a good cause.
I don't know, but I'd love to do it with you! I like the non-profit angle. My dream is to run a women's collective where we make all sorts of things available to women ("radical" health care via midwives, et al, education, help with foodstamps and WIC, art therapy, financial advice) Whatever it is a sista needs, she just needs to plug in to the collective and we find someone to make it happen. That's an AWESOME place to raise a girl-child!
