Our Parking Lot Rocks!

The side parking area at Titcomb's Bookshop
This is one of the beautiful things about having a blog. You can write down and share what you are excited about. People may not share your excitement, but you get the satisfied feeling of having “told the world” about your whatever-it-is.
I love our Bookshop, don’t get me wrong, but you have to admit our parking left something to desired. Am I right? In the rainy mess that is Spring, our side yard, where many people parked, was a morass of mud! You should see the morass now! It is a lovely gravel parking lot with actual defined edges. It is a thing of beauty!
Come to the shop, pull easily off to the side parking area, step out of the car and feel the satisfying crunch of firm stone under your feet. Go ahead Tropical Storm Danny. Bring it on this weekend, rain all you want…..we’ve got new gravel!

I’m so pleased you got a new driveway… my little Olivia RUINED her brand new sneakers in that “side mud” when shopping at Titcombs one summer rainy day this summer. Happy news! Congrats!

We are pleased too! Tough to expand a driveway and keep “the old Cape feel” but this seems to work. So sorry about the sneakers! Yuck!

When I brought my sister from citified NJ to your lovely store in the spring she exclaimed “Wow! Cowboy parking!”. I get a chuckle every time I park there and remember that.

Alas, wait till it’s plowed and the gravel is all pushed to a pile on the lawn.

Oh no! no! no! We are not going to have that kind of negative thinking! You’re totally right, of course, but we aren’t going to rain on our little happy parade just yet. We’re still loving it!
The only solution to the plowing issue would be paving and it just wouldn’t work well to have our 17th century Cape house with a paved driveway out front with painted parking slots, you know?
