TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD: How one community stepped up and saved their local bookstore
If you think no one cares about bookstores or that people don’t read books anymore, this story proves you wrong.
This small book store in Detroit had the worst luck ever when they were robbed of $35,000 from people using fake credit cards. For a small business that’s enough to close up shop for good. Unless you have some VERY passionate customers like this store does.
The owner of the store made a GoFundMe page to try and get some donations going to keep the doors open. And boy did it work more than ever. Some people donated large amounts like hundreds and some just gave all they could even if it was just $20. In the end they managed to hit their goal and raise $35,098 to save the store! Incredible.

MUNDANE MYSTERIES: Why is it called Jaywalking?
We’ve all done it at least ones. You skip right across the street quickly just outside of the white crosswalk lines. You jaywalked! Some places are more serious about it than others. But where did the “jay” come from?
Going back to the 1920s the term “jay” was a word to call someone an “idiot” or dumb person. So jaywalking by definition means idiot walking.
Be smart. Stay on those crosswalks.
