The Shop around the Corner 'The shop around the corner'. The name is part of the lovely 'Meg Ryan & Tom Hanks' movie 'You've got mail'. That movie means a lot to me because of past memories. I saw it again last night and I still enjoyed it. The movie is about two people who meet on the internet and fall in love, but in real life they have no clue about the other and it turns out they become mortal enemies because he represents this big multi-functional whatever gigantic book warehouse called 'Fox & sons' and she is owner of a little bookstore called 'The shop around the corner' The second time I saw the movie it got me thinking about her little bookstore. Are there still shops around where quality counts and not quantity. Where there's still character and the people behind the little counter still know what they are selling as opposed to what nonsense some bigger stores sell these days? This little 'Shop' represents me more in this commercial world then the big bad 'Fox' or the big M or anything that you can see around every corner in the world. I would rather go to the small places where you still can be yourself, where people make an effort of wanting to know you and where 'you' is more important then your wallet. Wouldn't it be a shame to let them die out ? I believe you already know my answer. |

Small, cozy shops around the corner still exist and have the value to exist. Try to maintain one by yourself, muffles.

Sadly here it is hard to start up your own small shop. You need a zillion of licenses and not to mention the money you need. But still it is good to dream though
