sortius :Fire_Bisexual:@backupbear@aus.social yeh, I think so, it moved heaps, but I don't think it was ever in the east end
sortius :Fire_Bisexual:@backupbear@aus.social I honestly can't think of the bookshop name, but I used to live on Scott St, went to NGS, and I'm pretty sure I bought books from there, too. I think it was up the road from my ex-partner's dad's wine shop
