There is a block in Pueblo, Colorado, where I could live in the broom closet and be perfectly happy. I am talking about the block on North Main Street between West 3rd Street and the alley to the south. Here, there are three shops under one roof that satisfy all my needs — coffee, a bar, music and books. All my needs are met in one block. We visited here

Over 200 color photographs
This show caught my eye not only because it’s such an intriguing topic, but the performer is a local writer. Teresa Funke, of Fort Collins, worked as a researcher for PBS and her essays and short stories have appeared in numerous commercial and literary magazines and anthologies. Today, Funke is the author of four books, and she is a speaker, presenter and writer’s coach. Funke’s book “Dancing in Combat Boots:
While I do not intend to write regular book reviews on HeidiTown, if the mood strikes, I will share a book with my readers. I am currently reading “Blind Descent” by James M. Tabor, a writer and former on-camera host of the PBS series, “The Great Outdoors.” Tabor’s previous book, “Forever on the Mountain,” is about the 1967 climb of Alaska’s Mt. McKinley, a trip that resulted in 7 lives
Review by Matt Dworak I just finished reading the book “Lone Survivor” by Marcus Luttrel and felt compelled to share. My brother Drew had recommended the book. Drew’s not a big reader and when he said he finished the book in two days that caught my attention. I should also mention that after finishing the book I had my wife read it, for women’s perspective.

Growing up in the Pacific Northwest, Powell’s has been part of my bookstore going experience since childhood. If you are a book lover it’s worth a trip to Portland, Oregon to visit Powell’s Books. The original store was open in 1971, and now there are six locations around Portland. I didn’t read much in 2009. I started many books, but completed few, therefore I’ve written very little

Sacred “Moon”: Reveling in the Twilight phenomenon By Susan Richards Also appearing in the Berthoud Weekly Surveyor I considered whether or not to review “The Twilight Saga: New Moon” this week because, well, it would mean coming completely out of the closet.
