I can't believe a treasure like Bob's News stand is right here in beautiful down town Skokie, and you don't have to stand in a line down the street and around the corner to get in!

This is a fair, balanced and ...Jesus Christ, Seth!<br /><br />This is a fair, balanced and honest portrayal, which is a lot rarer than people may realize. <br /><br />In other interviews I've had in my bizarre life, the writers simply arrived at conclusions unrelated to what he or she saw or heard. <br /><br />Thanks for the attention, the honesty and taking the time to listen. Final note: Yesterday, a tall Polish Catholic man came in and after an initially unnerving moment in which he decided to carefully define the difference between "Poles" and Jews who came from Poland--not the same thing at all to him--we then got into a discussion of ideas, travel, real books vs Kindles, religion, storytelling, European identity, American vs European women (inevitable)and why the past was better or worse depending on one's race and medical advances and how food used to taste better. Not bad for just an hour with a total stranger. <br /><br />I liked him. He's 35 and when he left, I offered him my first book as a gesture of new friendship and asked him if he'd want to read it.<br /><br />Surprised by the offer, he said yes. So,now I'll just wait and see what happensd next.<br /><br />Thanks again for all your time and the (virtual)ink, Seth. I hope people want to read it.<br /><br />Bob KatzmanRobert M.
