When writing this post we were first concerned that the term "mandles" might confuse readers into thinking Yankee Candle entered into the men's summer footwear category. Alas they are not -- they've released a collection of limited edition home fragrances branded as Man Candles with soon-to-be classic scents like:

Riding Mower: "Hot sun. Cool breeze. And the intensely summery scent of freshly cut grass."

2 x 4: "The warm, unmistakable scent of freshly planed wood and sawdust evokes a sense of confidence and quality."

And who could forget?:

First Down: "This combination of orange, patchouli, vetiver, and leather is as exciting as game day."

Providence Place Book Store

it usta be, that book stores were common in malls, I mean, before Barnes & Nobles and Borders super stores, there was always a Waldenbooks and a Doubleday or something -- at least 2 . . .

 

now f'rinstance, tho', this is the entire Fiction section in the only store that sells books in the whole mall, the biggest, nicest mall in Providence, RI . . . its mostly a comic book store . . . groovy in-store music, tho'.

is it due to the implosion of the super stores, the advent of the internet & e-books, or the common shift to new media?
