Quiet Corner Bookstore Is Something of a Landmark

Quiet Corner Bookstore is something of a landmark.It was opened in 1908 and it has long served the needs of the community.The store's popularity is based not only on its reputation for excellent service,but also on the fact that it has always been run by members of the same family: the Meyers clan.In an age of increasingly anonymous chain stores,customers appreciate the personal touch that they receive at the Quiet Corner.Recently,however,the government has announced that it intends to expropriate the land upon which the store is located in order to build a highway through the neighbourhood.The Meyers family may,however,be able to defeat that plan,and save their store,by relying on a provision of the Charter that protects cherished property.
