Books Are Magic is Coming by Shyda Hoque

Mar 31, 2017 ,,,,,,,,,

Smith Street has been a bit of a ghost town lately if you walk past Bergen.  Many retail spaces sit empty and it has been painful for locals who used to see commercial spaces thrive on this famed street. There are only so many banks, big retail shops and chain drug stores one can stroll […]
