One bookstore in this lineup has two resident cats named Gatsby and Zelda.” Another keeps a piano on its main floor, and skilled customers are welcome to play it. I love that kind of odd, bookish personality. A few of these shops even come with resident cats who act like they own the stacks.

Commentary: Art isn’t a luxury. It’s what helped me through my hardest times.
