Steel City Reading Series Continues on Saturday With Special Guest Emily St. John Mandel

The third installment of the Steel City Reading Series will take place on Saturday:
On Saturday, June 5 at 3 pm, Wolfgang Books and Steel City Coffee House will welcome Emily St. John Mandel to Phoenixville. Emily has just released The Singer's Gun, the Number One Indie Next Pick for May (you may recognize the bookseller who supplied the accompanying quote). Her debut novel, Last Night in Montreal, was one of Wolfgang Books’ favorite books of 2009, and The Singer's Gun is an excellent sophomore effort - no jinx here. Emily is one of the most exciting young writers working today, and should be a great fit for the Steel City Reading Series. Copies of both The Singer's Gun and Last Night in Montreal are in stock now at Wolfgang Books and will be for sale at the event, as well.

The format of the event will be: an interview conducted by Jason, the owner of Wolfgang Books, a reading by the author, audience question and answers, and concluding with a book signing. Books will be for sale at the event and are in stock now at Wolfgang Books.

Barry Cassidy Addresses Downtown Rumors

Today's Phoenix ran an article written by Barry Cassidy in which he addressed the various rumors that have been circulating regarding the immediate futures of several local businesses. He paints a much rosier picture than some of the comments here would have you believe. From the article: --- On Monday someone came in and told me Molly Maguire's was closing. I knew that was not correct because they are expanding, not closing. Then about 20 minutes after than I heard from someone else that 101 was closing and the building was going to become a McDonalds. I knew that was not correct either. Marietu' Fanny from the crepe joint at Bridge and Gay called me and was upset that she heard someone at the business association meeting say she was closing... She went on to tell me that they were doing well... Then I heard probably the most outrageous rumor of all... Ellie's Choice is closing. Now think about this one, folks.
