Town Square Book Shop Reopens After Fire Loss
Marion's Town Square Book Shop has moved to a new location below the Needlecraft Bank at Seventh Avenue and 11th Street after a fire destroyed its former 665 11th Street site last October. Owner Velma Welper says stairs are a challenge for elderly customers but relocation was necessary, with some patrons donating books to boost stock. Ebeling's Television Sales and Cole's Appliance Store also relocated, and the three buildings owned by Marion Square Associates have been razed with no plans to rebuild.
