So, because we're friends, rather than me telling you about him and his qualifications for transforming the Downer Schwartz, I'll let him to you himself.

Hurley banks new bookshop on devoted customers
Buying a popular, landmark local business sounds like a winning idea, right? But what if that 82-year-old business just announced it's closing? Veteran bookseller Lanora Hurley is diving in and doing just that by keeping the Schwartz shop in Mequon open as Next Chapter Bookshop.
