Ladies and gentlemen, I give you “The Book Loft.” Located in the German Heritage district of Columbus, Ohio, it is the largest independent bookseller in the United States.
32 rooms of books. Long, narrow corridors lined top to bottom with shelves upon shelves of books. So many tiny rooms, winding staircases, and niches that you’d get lost if they didn’t actually have maps posted every ten feet.
This, my friends, is one of the coolest places I’ve ever been to.
Rainbow Eucalyptus, is the only species of eucalyptus that grows in the northern hemisphere and is normally grown for its pulpwood, used to create white paper. But why does it look like it’s been painted? The secret behind the Rainbow Eucalyptus is that the trees shed multiple patches of bark every year, but not at the same time. As the patches are gone, the green inner bark is exposed, and as it matures it turns bluish, then orange, purple and maroon. This creates the rainbow effect.
Once, in a online chat with fans, JK Rowling revealed that the third scent Hermione could smell emanating from the Amortentia was that of Ron Weasley’s hair. [ x ]
On this date in 1954, a bipartisan, grassroots campaign to recall Senator Joe McCarthy began in Sauk City. Over 400,000 signatures needed to be collected in just 60 days in order to force a recall. Despite very few financial and organizational resources, the group was able to collect 335,000 signatures. Although the recall effort was unsuccessful, the Senate voted to censure McCarthy later that year.
Help make history this time around. Get involved.
