Arise

When I venture to uptown these days it's hard to avoid Arise Bookstore. A little collectively run radical bookstore. It's a place that I can kill far too much time. But I had a mission, i had seen a particular book there the last time I was there and hoped that it may still exist. Luckily it did. Although I may have been able to purchase "My Mother Wears Combat Boots" by Jessica Mills cheaper on amazon.con than at Arise, I am more than willing to pitch the extra few dollars to support an awesome local business. I also had to browse the dollar books and scored a possibly out of date historical book about India and Pakistan.
