It's appropriate that Robert Greer is the keynote speaker at Park Hill Bookstore's 35th Anniversary Celebration. A local teacher and doctor, founder of the High Plains Literary Review and author of seven books, Greer has a background as eclectic as that of the bookstore, which started as a book co-op and a venue for political and empowerment meetings in 1971. These days, the store is open seven days a week, sells both new and used tomes, hosts readings and signings for local authors, and contains an impressive children's section. Over the years, the shop has maintained its independence, hiring volunteers as cashiers and providing sales-tax-free prices for store members. Celebrate the birth and long life of Park Hill Bookstore tonight with a gourmet dinner and the words of Robert Greer, beginning at 6 p.m. at Tables, 2267 Kearney Street. Tickets are $55 per person or $100 per couple and can be purchased at the bookstore, 4620 East 23rd Avenue, or by calling 303-355-8508.
