Uncle Edgar's

I have been a bit busy with other projects and have been unable to submit much as of late.  I did take this picture of Uncle Edgar's Mystery Store located at 2864 Chicago Ave recently and enjoyed the image.

Uncle Edgar's

Uncle Edgar's used to be located on 4th Ave. just north of Franklin Ave. and west of 35W.  Now it's on Chicago near Lake St.  See inside in earlier PhillipWhittier365 photo by F. Davis DiPiazza, Feb. 12, 2011.  Or even better, go inside yourself.

12. One Writer, Two Bookstores

I love this project: it gives me permission to talk to strangers. They tend to seem ordinary until they start to talk.

Haddayr Copley-Woods, below, is a writer of fantasy and magic realism. Her stories, she said, are about people who seem ordinary until something happens. Say, they start to fly. [link to her website]

 

Copley-Woods lives in Powderhorn but crossed into Phillips to go to Uncle Hugo's Science Fiction (front half of store)/ Uncle Edgar's Mystery (back half) Bookstores, 

2864 Chicago Avenue South.  [link to Hugo & Edgar's]
