What is the future of A Different Light Bookstore?

I was just noodling around on Facebook and one of my online friends, a well-known novelist, had posted in his status updates that he was sad the hear that A Different Light Bookstore on Santa Monica Boulevard is closing.

I tried to confirm it officially but the employee I just spoke with would not confirm or deny and advised me to call the owner tomorrow.

I was just in there on Saturday evening for a browse and did notice an inordinate number of bargains. A few weeks ago, I bought a biography of Ethel Merman there for 50% off and have already read the entire thing.

I'll report whatever I find out tomorrow. It's another sad sign of how bad things are right now economically. More than a dozen of my Daily News colleagues either have departed or are departing this week through buyouts and layoffs. That is just the latest round as we continue our struggle to stay afloat like most other newspapers right now .

With so much uincertainty, the one thing that is certain is this: Out In Hollywood will indeed survive!
