How many people did it take to get this done? It looks fantastic for something that is just getting started.
A large number. Construction crews, architects, all kinds of stuff. The funeral home it used to be had to be gutted and remodeled. They had to do stuff like get rid of the embalming fluid smell in the basement. Plus all the permitting and stuff. She only told me a bit about it and because it's been such an exhausting process, I haven't really pressed her on details unless she offers them.
I do know that there was such a rush to get it open by yesterday that my wife was out doing things like spreading gravel with the maintenance people to get it done in time.
Well a hearty well done to everyone involved. And thank you for showing it to us. It is refreshing to see examples of people building up their community when the majority of news focuses on negative events.
Tell her thank you. Awesome job. Now can we put one of these in every town?
Heeeey whats up my fellow hoosier. Cheers to your bookstore!!
Looks great fellow Hoosier. Terre Haute needs more of this.
Congrats.
Is Terre Haute really that poor? Not what I'd expect from the hometown of one of our country's most premier private technical colleges. Usually a college contributes quite a bit to the local economy, and that's a fancy one.
It's a pretty tiny school. Only around 2k students.
Oh, I see. That is really tiny.

It's beautiful! The post isn't public on imgur or I would upvote you there too!
I didn't understand what imgur had become before I clicked the link and briefly thought the library had lots of copies of Twisters in 4k.
I can't see any images or any link to an album. Using Boost for Lemmy app on Android
Try using the "Share" link to open it in your web browser. Lemmy apps can have trouble with off-site image galleries (doesn't work in Eternity, for instance.)
I'm using eternity and see a link
Edit: I see what you mean. Can't copy it.
The link is in the headline as always with these things, so I don't understand.
More books would be nice, but the rest looks awesome. A great place for the community.
