56. You absolutely MUST go and see it.

It may put your mind to rest one way or the other.

It has got a lot going for it visually and romantically, I'll say that.

It is the kind of thing I would jump on, if I could. (If only my record of recommendations were a guarantee of success. Thank god I didn't invest in Eskimo Pie!)

Man, I really, really want good things for you!

My initial cost is already paid off, but I have so much debt that there's no way I could buy it at this time.

But a live/work building is what I want.

Can you imagine posting on DU from the turret? That would be cool...

14. That looks really nice.

Even with the debt, if the foot traffic is enough for walk-in business you might be able to find some small business loan or something.

Off topic, but on business: do you have a copy of Mike Davis' "Magical Urbanism"- I need it for a class and would like to pass some walk-in business another DUers way.

And the location isn't too bad either. Sorry about the timing but life's all about someday, right? Until it's someday, then it's about the "heck yeah!"

In the meantime, it's always fun to dream. That's what brings the future to us.

29. This bookstore is haunted...

THIS SHOP IS HAUNTED by the ghosts
Of all great literature, in hosts;

We sell no fakes or trashes.
Lovers of books are welcome here,
No clerks will babble in your ear,

Please smoke--but don't drop ashes!
----
Browse as long as you like.
Prices of all books plainly marked.
If you want to ask questions, you'll find the proprietor
where the tobacco smoke is thickest.
We pay cash for books.
We have what you want, though you may not know you want it.

Malnutrition of the reading faculty is a serious thing.

Let us prescribe for you.

26. I can not get over how cheap that is.

That's less than half of what an unimpressive house in a lousy neighborhood would cost here, and anyplace comparable to that is going to be well over half a mil and the sky's the limit in a good location.

Who says it's not the right time (when is it ever)....go for it anyway!
It sounds like you could have another apt as well as your own- and that the city may help out w/subsidies-so who knows....glad to hear that you're checking it out.
I'm sending good vibes out for you-make it happen!
It WOULD be cool to have that turret!

34. which part of it is the shop beyond the obvious? do you get to use the upper floors?

you can still run the online component out of the shop yes? UPS/FedEx will come to you. is there room for a coffee/drink area inside? will you need a permit to do so? can you place reading areas outside? how much of the frontage i.e. sidewalk, are you able to utilize? cause it looks like there's good sun exposure. how much?

and yes, the online would be run from the shop.

I haven't seen it as far as space, and yes, permits would be needed for a cafe.

Tables on the sidewalk would be a nice touch.

55. wow - that looks so cool!

The price sounds too good to be true. You really ought to check it out!

I do know of another house/shop for sale in Milwaukee. Right now it's a magic shop - even has a very small theater. I don't know what it's going for but it is a whole small house plus the shop area. However, it's not near as cool as the one you posted!!

Also, there's a building in Madison on Willy St. that would be perfect. It has two upstairs apts/condos (I think) plus beautiful downstairs, hardwood floors, fireplace, big windows, etc... if you're interested in moving to Madtown.

I'd love to buy it myself, but I don't know what I'd do with it. lol...

here's a link.

http://www.theophilusmagic.com/about.html

The bldg on Willy St. is next to the Lazy Janes cafe. It was listed when I moved here back in August. I saw it up close just last week and it was still for sale - but I can't find a listing now. I'll keep looking, though.

83. Still on your brain and in your heart?

Maybe the Universe is doing more than knocking at your door?

Have you seen it yet? Just a drive by or a real feel-the-energy walk through?

You could just call a realtor and take a stroll through it, you know. It couldn't hurt anything. Not really.

84. Okay, I did a drive by today...

Really nice building, really the wrong location for a bookstore.

I'll post some pics later on.

Well, the drive-by cured me of this building.

I'll keep looking elsewhere.

85. I would think that something in the lower east side would be a good place for a bookstore...

but I would imagine building prices are higher. Good luck.
