I mentioned that this bookstore burned to the ground in Minneapolis, and was asked to send the link to the go-fund-me to folks. So here it is.

For those who don't know, until it burned down Uncle Hugo's was the oldest still running independent specialty bookstore in the US.

Full information on the current state, and the owner's (Don Blyly) writeup on the event itself can be found here:

PS: I lived in Minneapolis for 21 years and know most of the folks involved personally.
