Jess Kuronen and Erik DuRon run Left Bank Books, a shop plagued by intrusive noise and dust from a nearby construction project beginning in late 2021. The sound resembled dental drilling, startling customers and disrupting the store's ambiance. Scaffolding blocked light from the front window for two years, affecting the overall environment. The store features an eclectic range of curated books on art, culture, and design, attracting varied customers. Despite challenges, the business persevered, continuing to serve the community.
"Customers would hear it and startle, putting down a chapbook by Audre Lorde or a Kathy Acker first edition to ask, 'What is that?'"},{
