Author Talk: "Chronicle's" Ted Reinstein2017-10-23T19:00:00Ted Reinstein, a reporter for “Chronicle” and author, talks about his newest book, New England General Stores. The general store was a place where kids came in to by penny candy, and adults came in to buy everything from swaths of fabric, to fresh vegetables, to four-penny nails. It was deeply woven into America’s cultural identity and the fact is, the general store is still very much here, and still very much the heart of some communities. Free and open to the public.
