Left Bank Books

An independently-owned bookstore offering a full-line of new and used books. Our mission has always been to offer an intelligent, culturally diverse selection of titles with a focus on politics, contemporary arts and literature, high-quality children's books, African American interest, GLBT titles and more. No independent bookstore would be complete without a cat. We've had several cats, since 2005 we were adopted by Spike, who enjoys long naps on the Special Orders desk, dancing for cat treats and shoplifting mouse-sized, furry covered children's books for his own pleasure.

 

Moolah Theater & Bowling

In January 2005, the former Masonic temple re-opened with 40 apartments, a single-screen movie theater (boasting the largest screen in the area and leather couches among the seating), and a bowling alley and grille in the basement. A new garage stands behind the building, serving the Moolah Temple as well as SLU.
