Do you remember your Village Green bookstore? Village Green opened in 1972 in Rochester, NY with the simple goal of catering “to people who were hungry for books.” After expanding too quickly, they filed for bankruptcy, closing its flagship Monroe Avenue store in 1999. ————————————————— #gasstationburrito #books #bookstagram #bookish #bookworm #booknerd #bookaholic #booklove #bookstore #bookseller #villagegreenbookstore #myvillagegreen #forgottenbuffalo #forgottenrochester #literarybuffalo #tbt #throwbackthursday (at Buffalo, New York)

Do you remember the Village Green? This photo comes from the “Whatever Happened To...” column about Village Green Bookstore, written by Alan Morrell, that appeared in Rochester’s Democrat & Chronicle in 2014. This was Village Green’s flagship store at 766 Monroe Avenue in Rochester, NY. The chain actually started out in the basement before business grew and they moved upstairs. ————————————————— #gasstationburrito #books #bookstagram #bookish #bookworm #booknerd #bookaholic #booklove #bookstore #bookseller #villagegreenbookstore #myvillagegreen #forgottenbuffalo #forgottenrochester (at Rochester, New York)
