The Rabbit & the Dragonfly, a coffee shop, bookstore (selling new and used titles) and creative community center, opened Saturday in downtown Lancaster, Pa., at Place Marie Mall, 51 N. Market St.
Partners Jason Zimmerman, Dave Seyfried, Dr. David Eisenberg, Laurie Keener, Stephanie Todoroff and Melissa Garland "took inspiration from the Inklings, an informal literary group from the 1930s and 1940s whose members included C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien," LancasterOnline reported, adding that a "corner of the cafe has been set up to look like the Rabbit Room, a lounge in the Oxford pub where the group often met."
