I have become a fan of your blog.<br /><br />I’m so glad you were able to see more of our wonderful city and great architecture. I remember the first time my friend introduced me to the Mercantile. I thought I had walked back in time. <br /> <br />Did you notice that the Mercantile takes off all the dust jackets on the new books. It helps to blend in with the older books and colors. I started doing that in my library.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6117194181116669144.post-30445612839548250812011-05-23T19:35:55.490-07:002011-05-23T19:35:55.490-07:00Lisa,

I'm so happy we did. I love love loved the place. Someone had broken into my sister's apartment that morning (when I was there!) so we were both distracted the whole day. We drove around downtown Cincinnati looking for somewhere interesting to eat and decided on the Bistro. A block from the library, it had circus font lighted letters in the windows, a great Dr. Seuss print framed by apple green walls & red leather banquettes & half price draught beer...We were beginning to perk up. Dinner highlights were the duck-fat fries, better than crack brownie and wonderful coffee. We walked the block to the library and soon began to forget the awful morning all together. The library itself was a haven full of old world charm, interesting & warm people (someone mentioned their Italian villa - hello) and you. What a long-winded way to say thank you - for keeping us so marvelously distracted, for sharing your lovely homes, and for your warm & genuine lecture. Wish we had said Hello! - MeganAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
