I don’t want to let the passing of World Eye Bookshop and former Magical Child toy store go without saying that I will miss the cozy friendliness and fine choices that Tim always had on hand. Losing two bookstores and the only toy store in a couple of weeks comes as a sad moment in our lovely little city.

Thanks to Tim Ballou (with Diana Roberts’ help) for providing Greenfield with a comforting addition to our shopping options. I am sad to see that they are gone.
