An Unlikely Story owner Jeff Kinney is addressing the need for more parking near his business in downtown Plainville, Mass., by purchasing a lot near the bookstore to create 56 additional parking spaces, Wicked Local Plainville reported. Planning board member Chris Yarworth said the construction "includes extensive landscaping and a clock tower at the road intersection. Hopefully, it will be an attractive and practical addition to the downtown."
"The lot behind the bookstore accommodates our typical needs, but we need extra parking for author events, private functions for story time and other bookstore functions," Kinney, whose day job is writing the Wimpy Kid books, noted. "We also anticipate a need for additional parking for the holidays." He added that An Unlikely Story "is doing well, and the additional lot reflects our hope that we can support and grow the business."
