I had lunch yesterday with Peter - my friend and former Tattered Cover Bookstore office mate - at Pepper, an Asian restaurant a few blocks away from the store. This is the first time we have had lunch together for almost 2 years, before the start of the pandemic. Since that time, the Tattered Cover has been sold to a local investment group, and is starting to add more stores. They closed the Lower Downtown location and opened a new store in nearby McGregor Square, as well as a children's bookstore at Stanley Marketplace in Aurora. They will soon open another bookstore in North Suburban Westminster, and are considering opening a store in Colorado Springs. Peter is back working full-time at the Colfax store, and has settled into the business of paying the bookstore chain's bills. He seems the same as usual, and that includes his camera shyness. And if you are wondering, I took the photograph above in 2017, back when he was still "camera friendly."
