Due to this accident, Tom will be closing Micawber’s.” Initially, Healy reported, “Micawber’s will be closed until further notice.” Then, two days later, he provided an update, noting, “Micawber’s will close at the end of April. A going-out-of-business sale will be held on two weekends in April.” The times and dates are 10 Micawbers to 6 Tom Bielenberg, owner of Micawber’s Books. Photo by Park Bugle archives.
