2 reviews for Black Rose Collective Bookstore and Community Resource Center
Black Rose is a bookstore (selling both new and used titles) as well as a Freecycle site. During walks down Mississippi I often stop in front of Black Rose to pick through the freecycled items on the sidewalk in front of the store, and have occasionally really scored: I got my copy of The Joy of Cooking, there, for instance, and several editions of the Harvard Classics.
The store itself carries a wide selection of zines and literature, and emphasizes radical nonfiction, commentary and history (this would be the place to get your Chomsky fix).
Unfortunately, the web link to this store (which came up in a Google search) doesn't seem to go anywhere. And it seems to keep pretty sporadic hours, so it may be difficult to actually plan a trip to Black Rose. If you are in the neighborhood, however, and it's open, it's pretty much always worth a peek.
oh sweet ,sweet dirty land of free! i love black rose for all of the free treasures i find, for the eclectic music blaring, for the zines and books galore, for the dirty couch to read them on, for the late night dance parties, for the adorable traveling kids with cuddle worthy dogs and for all the the potential it has for the community and more.. .
