Game store owner shares his dream for the former Ben Franklin

Ben Franklin Scott Gemignani_8847 3 lighter cmyk.jpg

MIDDLEBURY — Scott Gemignani is in the business of magic and fantasy; his downtown Middlebury game store, Tinker & Smithy, sells it by the box.

But some might say the latest trick up his sleeve could compete with anything that could be scripted in DungeonQuest, Battlelore, or War of the Ring.

He’s attempting to conjure the purchase of the former Ben Franklin store property at 63 Main St. and transform it into a mixture of retail, arcade, bowling alley, burger joint and affordable housing.

To all the people who hate Muslims

Posted on March 28, 2019 |
By Narges Anzali



Do I scare you? They call it Islamophobia after all.

Do I scare you? Does my family scare you?

Let me give you a summary of us, in case you didn’t really know us all that well.

 

Me,

Standing at about 5 foot 2 inches,

With big, bushy, fuzzy hair

And a penchant for zoning out and

Always having graphite-stained fingers.

 

My sister,

10 years old, who once made

Her own little snack dispenser

Out of a cardboard box and some tape.
