I would visit this store at least once a month growing up until my family moved to North Carolina for two years and then Georgia, the store owner was like a grandmother to my generation in my family. My family was a loyal customer even when Barnes & Nobles opened in Burlington, we would stop there either before or after a trip across the street at K-Mart until she relocated down the road to beside Jiffy Lube. I was saddened to see that she closed the store. If I had known this was happening, my family would have made a special trip to Vermont to make one last purchase, not to see family, but to see her and her store one last time. She taught me how to treat books and would always point out the new Paddington Books and the latest Tom Clancy books on her shelves.
