Going Going — Naomi Shihab Nye

Florrie's favorite coffee shop, with its open mike night, dreamy candles, and cute waiters ... Going?

The mysterious little hut selling fresh lemon ice on the west side of town ... Going?

Individuality. Originality. Quality.

Independence. Opportunity.

Going, going, gone.

What's a girl to do?
