A Room of One s Own
MADISON, Wis.– It’s a new chapter for a beloved local bookstore. After nearly 50 years downtown, A Room of One’s Own is moving three miles east: into a historic building in the Atwood neighborhood, most recently occupied by Threshold.
The 4500-square-foot, 100-year-old space is a little
smaller than the bookstore’s most recent home on Gorham Street, but this move will bring about several
big changes.
Gretchen Treu, who’s co-owned the shop since 2018, expects to get less tourist traffic and student shoppers at her new location. But they say the Atwood neighborhood is known for its small businesses, walkability, and focus on family, so they think the shop will be a good fit.

CANANDAIGUA, NY What once was a signature structure of the Lisk manufacturing era in the city of Canandaigua will be a coffee shop as soon as the end of July. But while the name is changing, the roots of its past will remain somewhat grounded here.
Working Class Coffee will open perhaps as early as the next two months in the building that once carried the Lisk name as part of the overall redevelopment of the property.
This space a centerpiece of the Factory 243 project and the first building you see when entering from Gorham Street is a unique one, admitted Derrick DePorter, who is the owner of the new coffeeshop.
