Prompt:

It is Independent Bookstore Day and I cannot thank these generous, blooming, wonderful spaces enough. They are lifeline and buoy. LOVE them all. So much. Your prompt is to write a love letter to a place that has meaning for you. It could be a bookstore, or a restaurant or a place in nature. Why does it matter. Why does it stay, stay with you. Tell us all about it.
