The Knox County Area Partnership for Economic Development announced Monday that Wordsmith Bookshope will be opening in less than two months in the former Ride & Run location on East Main Street, fronted by a former bookstore manager. It’s a project that started at a Partnership-hosted gathering earlier this year. KCAP president Ken Springer talks about that, and the somewhat sudden closure of Sirlion Stockade in Galesburg, with Will Stevenson on Galesburg’s Evening News.
