I lived in Plainville, Massachusetts<\/a>, for thirty-five years. When my family originally moved there, there was a store in the middle of town called Falk’s Market. The children in the town rode their bikes there to buy penny candy<\/a>, and the growups knew that Falk’s was the best place to buy steaks to barbeque. Over the years Mr. Falk grew old and the store fell into disrepair. Eventually it was sold to someone who didn’t seem to know how to bring it back to its glory days. Then, a few years ago it was sold to Jeff Kinney<\/a>, who wrote the Wimpy<\/a> Kid books. Mr. Kinney knew how to bring back the glory days of the market in the center of Plainville.<\/p>\n

The New York Times<\/a> posted a story today about the bookstore in Plainville that will be opening soon.<\/p>\n

This is what Falk’s Market looked like when Mr. Kinney bought it:<\/p>\n

This is the new bookstore:<\/p>\n

\"falksMarketAfter\"<\/a>The New York Times reports:<\/p>\n

Now, in a risky and ambitious next act, Mr. Kinney will start selling other people\u2019s books. He\u2019s opening a bookstore, called An Unlikely Story, in his adopted hometown, Plainville, Mass., about 40 miles south of Boston. And while he doesn\u2019t want the store to resemble a \u201cWimpy Kid\u201d theme park, he\u2019s willing to use the popularity of the series to draw in customers. Mr. Kinney will work at the cash register and in the cafe on occasion, and he plans to teach a cartooning workshop at the store.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Thank you, Mr. Kinney, for loving Plainville enough to build a bookstore there.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
