Boomster Fun in Bethlehem, PA (Part 2)
Downtown on a Saturday
So on the Saturday of the weekend we were in Lehigh Valley, we went to downtown Bethlehem to first visit the Moravian Book Shop, which on its website states: “Founded in 1745, the Moravian Book Shop is the oldest bookstore in America, the oldest continuously operating bookstore in the world and home to the Moravian University student bookstore.” I was surprised that they didn’t have any t-shirts or other items that advertised that (What can I say? I teach marketing!), but I saw a lot of cool books (I guess I am sort of a bibliophile), and especially one that I could use for my studies.
We then went to Bitty & Beau’s Coffee, a really nice bustling coffee shop that was founded by the Wright family in honor of their two children, Bitty and Beau, who have Down syndrome. It was inspiring to see some people with disabilities working there!

AS USUAL, BRUCE, YOU NEVER FAIL TO INSPIRE!! VERY INTERESTING PLACES!
What a good time in a great place! It's been years since we have been to Bethlehem. Great place then. Perhaps time for us to revisit. Thanx!
