Hooray for Books, the children's bookstore in Old Town Alexandria, Va., that had to close after being flooded by heavy rains a week ago, was back in business yesterday. The bookshop posted on Facebook: "It is with great pleasure that we opened our doors this morning! Thank you to our volunteers who helped us out yesterday--we couldn't have done it without you. A special thanks goes out to our friends and neighbors at the Uptowner Cafe. They provided water for our volunteers and gave us a brand new 'Open' sign. Things are back to business as usual so stop by today to say hi, cool down from the heat and admire our new carpet."
