1. malaPrOP’S BOOkSTOrE aNd CaFé 55 hayWOOd ST. 257-6734 malaPrOPS.COm Malaprop’s means memories, mingled with the smell of books and coffee. When I lived above the bookstore, my mother enjoyed the poetry readings on her visits to Asheville while Dad stayed in the apartment and watched football. Or take this memory: My niece explored the children’s book section by crawling around, pretending to be a cat, because something about Malaprop’s keeps books alive for young and old alike. — M.W.
