The Twin Cites has long been a haven for literary pursuits, from the days of F. Scott Fitzgerald to Garrison Keillor. After much anticipation, finally there is a central hub for the many spokes of the literary community, the first center of its kind in the nation. In a thoughtfully renovated warehouse, Open Book houses the Minnesota Center for Book Arts, The Loft Literary Center, Milkweed Editions, and Ruminator Books. The building also offers meeting spaces, Dayton's Performance Hall, and The Coffee Gallery. All this in a great space that was built with books in mind. Notice the main staircase; the white panels are meant to emulate the pages of an open book. The old warehouse can still be seen in some places, as the architects left old stairways, wallpaper, and doorways intact.
