Ha! When in the area, I stay with my daughter who lives near
the intersection of N. Druid Hills and Briarcliff. I always
thought Druid Hills would be a great address for a horror
writer. The next time I am coming down I will email you and
perhaps we can meet for a coffee or drink. To tie this into
another thread, my daughter works at DeKalb General
Hospital's emergency room, the second busiest in the area.
From 3 pm to 11 pm, she is charge of evaluations of anyone
coming in presenting possible mental health issues. I mention
this in passing, not to suggest it might one day be useful
information.
Other bookstores in that area include the Book Nook on N.
Druid Hills, which has a large selection of used paperbacks,
hardbacks, DVDs, CDs and new and used comics. There's also
the Eagle Eye Book Shop at the corner of Clairmont and N.
Decatur Road, which has a reasonable selection although they
annoy me by shelving mysteries in with the general
fiction.
