A nice tribute to NYC\’s soon-to-be-dearly-departed Coliseum Books from the New York Daily News:
By this time next week, there will be more left of the Colosseum in Rome than of Coliseum Books on Broadway.
Yes, the building that has housed Coliseum Books since July 1974 will presumably remain intact, a few steps below Columbus Circle. But in a way, that makes Coliseum\’s Friday closing all the more haunting.
There\’s a singular emptiness in looking through the window of a store that has closed. It was true of Altman\’s or Woolworth\’s, and it\’s especially true of places where you leave a piece of your life. Coffee shop, record store. Automat. Bookstore . . .
More.
