Eh?
How in the world can a small local non-chain book store pay for commercial space in a building where a parking spot, let alone a condo, costs more than the GDP of a medium-sized nation?
Subsidies from the developer
Part of the conditions on allowing construction right on the water was an agreement to help pay for a cultural center, which in this case meant Grub Street (which does writing programs) and a bookstore.
Rent
I think they're paying $1/month or something like that.
Huh
I didn't know that people who visited the Seaport could read.
