Old Firehouse Books – The Cutest Bookstore in Fort Collins
There’s something very satisfying about seeing a bookstore that looks exactly as a bookstore should. Real estate offices, digital marketing companies, and insurance firms have infested city centers of small towns across the country. Important businesses of course, but I question how many window shoppers see it fit to pop into these places to see…
