Whenever I drive past this I always feel delighted by how whimsical it is. It’s for a baby wear company, which makes sense. But in my head the building is full of just the same sort of illustrations as outside, only in balloon form.

The new H-E-B in Frisco, Texas was built by EMJ Construction and designed by RSP Architects. The 118,000-square-foot store is filled with state-of-the-art amenities and innovations and has distinctive features such as a True Texas BBQ, full-service pharmacy with a drive-thru, car wash, fuel station, and Home by H-E-B décor department.
The opening of the first H-E-B in North Texas brought quite a bit of fanfare with over 1,500 people in line before the doors even opened and over 1,000 pounds of brisket sold by the end of the first day.
EMJ is serving as the general contractor on two additional H-E-B stores in Plano and McKinney, which are currently under construction.

Book-shaped building to revive Busan's fading book street
BUSAN ― It's 10 a.m. on a sunny April day in Busan's Bosu-dong. Off the main road is the blink-and-you'll-miss-it entrance to Bosu Book Street. The narrow, 200-meter-long passage is lined on both sides with independent bookstores.
by Kwak Yeon-soo
The bookstore alley in Bosu-dong was formed when a refugee couple from North Hamgyong Province (now North Korea) started selling vintage magazines when Busan became the country's provisional capital during the 1950-53 Korean War.
By the 1970s, more than 70 bookstores were established in the area, giving the neighborhood a unique character and spirit.
"Bosu Book Street is our beautiful cultural heritage that was born out of the most turbulent time in modern Korean history. Since then, the street has retained its old charms. People overcame despair and healed the wounds of war through books," Kim Eun-ho, the president of Hangilsa Publishing, writes in his latest book "Into the Forest of Wisdom" (literal translation).
Since the 2000s, the number of independent bookstores on Bosu Book Street has fallen by more than half due to the expansion of chain bookstores and e-books. Now some 30 bookstores remain on the road.

This is a great example of how the entire community including other businesses and retailers can come together and support institutional booksellers. (click through to the article and watch the nice video outlining the building and the history of Bosu Book Street) ~ eP
