Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The nearest independent bookstore to me is a carwash. I don't even.
My boss has just told me it's okay if I don't write paragraphs in my self-assessment. Or if they're only 3-4 sentences. FML. FM now. I'm so screwed. Shoot me if you see me back here anytime soon, okay?

I think there are two independent bookstores in Kansas City, but one is specifically a children's bookstore. So there's one general purpose one. Unfortunately, it's a pretty long drive to get there.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
The junction is where the Kennedy and the Edens meet. The Hubbard Cave is downtown--it's the tunnel you go through on the Kennedy southbound on your way into the Loop before you meet up with the Dan Ryan and the Eisenhower
I still hear Hubbard Cave on the radio. Of course, I'm a bit miffed that they rarely give traffic for the tollways. Which is what I drive on everyday.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
There seem to be a bunch of indie bookstores around here, but it's a college town. Maybe they're used bookstores; I haven't been into all of them. My god, who have I become.

No, that song is awesome!

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil
The Edens time is usually Lake Cook to the junction; the Kennedy is usually O'Hare to the interchange (where all the highways meet downtown), so you're right, brenda, that Hubbard Cave isn't the end location in a traffic report, but they do tend to mention it when someone invariably breaks down in the middle of the Cave and slows traffic to a halt. The Eisenhower is Mannheim to the post office, and the Dan Ryan is I-80 to downtown.
