It suddenly struck me yesterday how rich Central Oregon is with bookstores. Deschutes County has a little over 200K people and is fairly isolated. In this county alone, we have:
Pegasus Books
Dudleys
Roundabout
Underground
Big Story
Sunriver Books
Paulina Springs
Herringbone
B & N
(I hope I didn't miss any...)
It all kind of crept up on me. When B & N came to town, we had three indie bookstores, all of which went out of business shortly thereafter. Paulina Springs existed, I believe, and probably Sunriver Books. But this growth has been continuous ever since.
Pretty cool.
