"Here'a a great shout-out to venerable local independent stores, food shops, and emporia of all kinds. Ever wonder about the history of establishments like Jacob Wirth, the Parker House, or the Grolier Book Shop? It's all here. (Harvard Book Store is also featured, pages 65-68!). The oldest of these businesses opened in 1742, the newest in 1978. Check out some of these places; let's keep them from disappearing."
