Opening of Pandemonium Books' New Location

IMG_2102

Pandemonium Books & Games has been in Cambridge just about as long as I have been there, having opened in 1989, right before my first stay in Cambridge in the summer of 1991. I've been a fan of the place, originally in a small upstairs location above Harvard Square's late, lamented "Wursthaus," ever since. In a constant shuffling of stores that never seems to stop in Harvard Square, the bookstore moved down the street to The Garage and stayed there for many years until moving to its new location in Central Square, where a grand opening including a book-signing by author Esther Friesner was held.

It's a great space and the new location, near the corner of Massachusetts Avenue and Pleasant Street, across from the post office, is great. Plus, moving to Central Square proves the increasing cultural superiority of Central Square over the slow but inexorable mallification of Harvard Square.

More pictures after the jump...

Also, I will not include a picture here, but I must link to the most disturbing role-playing supplement ever.

One admits that modern life seems to be not cheap, nevertheless some people require cash for different things and not every man earns big sums money. So to get good home loans and just commercial loan should be a proper solution.
