Let's keep the Hampden business love goin' this morning.

How much do I love the Atomic Books? (and Pop/Book Company/Twang/TV?)Well, Hawker isn't the only one who was attracted to Hampden because of businesses like that. Benn and Rachel care passionately about Hampden, and their businesses here are the kinds of anchors that bring folks from all over the region to our hood.

And last night, Atomic Pop started hosting Burlesque University!

Finallly! An institution of higher learning in Hampden!

According to previous Burlesque 101's, "Graduation Glory" on Oct. 18 should be open to the public.
