Another great place for people who actually read. Downtown could fill to the rim with places like this and I couldnt be happier.

May 29, 2008, 10:33:46 AMChamblin's is a cool place in deed. The place is pretty large and will only get better when its fully stocked and the cafe opens. Its a great spot to kill some time downtown.
Chamblin's Uptown is open Monday through Saturday from 9am to 5pm and on Sunday from 11am to 5pm. Once the bookstore and cafe are fully operational, hours will be expanded.

June 05, 2008, 10:33:20 AMWent there the other day with my wife and it looked kind of antiseptic at first but we ended up hanging out and browsing longer than I expected. So happy to see this here, can't wait until they are fully settled in and the place develops a bit more personality, but even at this stage it's a great addition. we are starving for these kinds of places.

What an amazing place.
Next door to the Library and the small bookstore there, it makes Downtown into quite the bibliophile location
