McKay’s Used Books — Bring a Snack
Filed Under (Books, Music, Business & Development) by Lesley on 09-24-2007

It’s been a little over two weeks since McKay’s Used Books opened their new store here in Nashville on Charlotte Pike. (Evil) Amy paid a visit this weekend and has some advice:

I shall put it this way: The building that houses McKay’s used to be a Mattress Warehouse. It’s THAT big. The book section alone is bigger than the entire Charlotte Ave branch of the library. Wear comfortable shoes and bring a snack, kids.

I know BOM is excited that it’s now open. Anyone else been yet?

No, but I LOVED McKay’s in Knoxville and can’t wait to try the new one.

A friend of mine who lives in the neighborhood has praised it highly. I can’t wait to go.

Hey, I live over there, too… didn’t know it was open, yet, but saw the signs going up some time back. I hardly scoot through that stretch of Charlotte, but sometimes get over to the Kroger, across the street. Will make a point to drop in, this week.

Andy, I am so with you on that. I love Miss Saigon and I haven’t been in ages. What a good excuse to swing by (either of them!).

Must go..my already-full bookshelf needs some more tenants.

Sweet mother of mercy…it’s open! I’ve got books I’ve been saving to take for trade!

Wait….no Titans game this weekend! My Sunday plans are made!

I want to go…..I am a book whore. I will be out of town this weekend, but next weekend I will be there!

I just went a few hours ago. I don’t think I was too impressed. I feel bad about that, but there it is.

No rafter-high stacks of remaindered ScaifeCo books?
