The Big Dig: Installing the café's grease interceptor (no burgers, but it's required by the health department)
Happy Cinco de Mayo, amigos de Morgensterns!
What better day to announce that we'll be carrying Bivi's tamales in the café!
Speaking of Cinco de Mayo, here's a fun fact from Sam Eads (who you'll meet later in this newsletter):
Dr. David Hayes Bautista, Director of the Center for the Study of Latino Health and Culture, came to Bloomington two years ago and spoke about the true history of Cinco De Mayo. He is the author of El Cinco de Mayo: An American Tradition.
Another fun fact, from the Founder himself, Rick Morgenstern: "When the doors open, Morgensterns will be the largest Independent bookstore in Indiana."
(If you know Rick, you know he hates to brag, so consider this a real thing.)
More signs of spring: Our signs are on order and expected in a couple of weeks.
OK, these fun facts are nice, but tell us — when will the store open?
We still can't announce an opening date yet, but it's happening! Late June is the best case scenario. Pandemic supply chain delays have been a real challenge.
In the meantime: Keep reading these e-newsletters for updates, and follow us on our Facebook page.
And of course, you can buy books and support your favorite hometown bookshop NOW, at Morgensterns online!
