It was Bookseller's Row; however, it was Bookseller's Row second location on Lincoln Avenue. They were first located east side of Lincoln on the 2500 block, one block north. There was a cafe called Periwinkle with an outdoor patio next door. If I recall correctly, Periwinkle closed and Lilly's took over the space and I think they built on, closing off the patio. I may have one or two of those switched, but Lilly's was on the alley, then two doors down was the original Bookseller's Row. Much later Bookseller's Row opened a Michigan Avenue location in the Fine Arts building, and then on Milwaukee in the Wicker Park area.
