Two Philadelphia Confectioners Give New Life to America’s Oldest Sweet Shop

Grinning the widest of grins and sporting the snuggest of suspenders, Ryan Berley shimmies past the carved hardwood display cases at Shane Confectionery like a kid in a candy store. A 36-year-old kid, but a kid nonetheless. He’s entitled: It’s his candy store.

Berley and his 32-year-old brother, Eric, recently bought and restored Shane’s, the oldest continuously operated candy shop in America.

I don’t always remember to say so, but I love you, internet friends and acquaintances.  This past year I moved away from most of my physical friends to a place where I only really know a handful of people besides my fiance and my cat, and having an internet community (on tumblr, withleather, lj, facesbook, guild wars 2, whatever) has saved me from just being a sad, lonely mess all the time.  So, whoever you are out there, I hug you, you are beautiful and awesome, I hope you are well.

Chris Cobb, an artist based in San Francisco, has created an amazing installation in bookshop called Adobe Books- he catalogued every single one of the 20,000 books by color. The project is titled There is Nothing Wrong in This Whole Wide World. They were arranged by hand over a 10 hour period, and he enlisted the help of 16 volunteers. Such beautiful results, they transformed the bookshop overnight.
