Gems in the Neighborhood
This is by far the cutest thing I have come across in my old neighborhood (aww memories) - and I have my childhood friend to thank for sharing this w/me! Southeast San Diego does not have the best reputation (hah beachy clean it is not!), but it has it’s charm. I don’t know who set this up, I don’t know whose books these are, but I love the idea of a Corner Library Free Book or Exchange! The books aren’t exactly literary masterpieces, but they are interesting and I am sure w/time, there will be some gems. My friend ended up leaving behind two mangas (Japanese comic books if you really don’t know) and I ended up taking a book called “They Called Them Greasers: Anglo Attitudes toward Mexicans in Texas, 1821-1900” by Arnoldo de Leon. Oh yeah, this one is certainly going to be interesting! Getting my history on!
