Modern Times Bookstore Closing, Maybe Becoming Busboys & Poets

Grub Street reported several months back that D.C.-based progressive restaurant/bookstore Busboys & Poets had their sights set on the Mission for a new location. Today we note that Modern Times bookstore, which is closing up shop in their current location on Valencia Street, announced that they were in talks to partner with Busboys & Poets to operate a small bookstore within a new Busboys & Poets location, still TBD. We’re told B&P; still hasn’t signed a lease at this or any other location, and this is still a ways off, but the hemp-inflected readings and music performances are floating there on the horizon.
