For my Bmore Peeps

This is strictly for my Bmore peeps. Not sure if there are any out there, except Ms. Brown, but this is pretty big news.

The popular Karibu bookstore (known for holding down PG County will great author events, etc) will be opening a branch in Security Square Mall located in the beautiful Baltimore suburbs? Yes Security. The last time I was in town, I stopped in Security to get a key made. No I didn't go there to do any shopping. Icouldn't believe my eyes. That mall is falling apart.

Now you can look at this in two ways--either the Karibu brothers think they can add something too the declining mall or they aren't familiar with the many businesses that come and go in that place. I wish them the best, but I would have suggested a spot on Liberty Road before I suggested opening in Security. Maybe even Mondawmin before Security. Security is becoming the next Reistertown Plaza--a total of four stores open, the rest closed.

Karibu is one of the strongest Black bookstores in the country, so I definitely trust that they know what they are doing. Maybe now I'll have a reason to go to Security when I visit.
