Joseph Judd: Old Books, New Hope
<p>Tangible Used Bookstore opened about four months ago and brings new charm to Bridgeport. It's owned by Joseph Judd and his wife Lisa. Judd, whom we interviewed for the podcast, has the kind of optimism that flakes off like glitter and attaches itself to you. He decides to do things, does them, and makes them work. He has not advertised outside of the neighborhood, he has no business model, and says the people of the neighborhood control the store, from the inventory they themselves bring in to determining the hours, which are loosely set from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m.</p> <p>Don't forget to <a href="https://mosprattstreet.substack.com/p/tangible-used-bookstore-brings-new?s=w">read the accompanying essay</a>.</p>

She hired some of the city’s best Black-hair stylists.</p> <p>“I wanted to create an environment for women so they feel comfortable— for them to be beautified and for them to feel safe and to feel like they have somewhere that we could start a sisterhood.”</p> <p>Check out our <a href="https://mosprattstreet.substack.com/p/untangling-black-beauty-in-bridgeport?s=w"><strong>accompanying newsletter</strong></a><strong> </strong>story about Brittany!</p>
