We're movin' on up

I have some big news folks.

Big news.

On August 1, Oppercase Bookstore is moving in with Arcadia North Coffeehouse.

Arcadia North is Matt Ceolin's project beside the Old Stone House at 823 Queen St. E.

It's a magnificent building that used to be Yun's Diner and a long time before that a local dairy.

It's got a ton of character to it and Matt has done a beautiful job with the cafe.

Dark wood and exposed brick.

It's something we've needed for a long time.

We've been talking about it for much too long, but finally I'll be sliding in next door at 823 Queen St. E. and we're going to open up one wall so that you can pass from the coffeehouse to the bookstore without leaving the building.

I'm going to continue building on what I've been doing and I'm confident that I'll be able to take the store in even better directions at this new location.

Don't let the lack of exclamation points fool you.

I'm pretty excited.

I mean, excited!

Also in there is Eargasm Records, an indie record store stocking CDs and vinyl run by Al Bjornaa.

Al has already booked a ton of bands to come in this summer.

So again, !!!

They're going to be having a Canada Day celebration on July 1 with a lot of local bands playing throughout the day starting around noon, so go check it out!

Dave's upper cut

Town House; by Tish Cohen

Jack Madigan should be leading an enviable life.

He's the sole heir of a '70s rock icon.

He lives with his retro-obsessed teenage son, Harlan, in a once-magnificent Boston town house.

But now 36, Jack's painting career is buckling under a raging case of agoraphobia.

And when the foreclosure notice arrives, Jack must face losing the only home he's ever known, and his only safe zone.

When Jack's ex-wife announces that Harlan would be better off living with her and her vitamin-enriched fiancé, Jack has to figure out how to deter the perky, inexperienced real-estate agent, hold on to his house, keep his son at home, and-through the tenacity of the little girl next door-finally step out onto the sidewalk.

Fox 2000 swooped in to pre-empt the film rights while Town House was still on submission to publishers.

Ridley Scott's Scott Free Productions is set to produce the movie and Pulitzer Prize- winning screenwriter Doug Wright (Memoirs of a Geisha) is adapting the screenplay.

A book with the ability to both entertain and move us, Town House is a smart, acerbic novel bursting with heart and quirky charm.
