Living local BOOKS & BITES When the skys are dark and cloudy, who doesn’t get the urge to retreat indoors and pass the time with a good book? In Tryon, there is a small independent bookseller, the Book Shelf (86 N. Trade St.), and just doors down is the Tryon Coffeehouse Co-op (62A N. Trade St.). Pick out a bestseller, or a book by one of many local authors, and enjoy a steaming mug of delicious coffee and a scone or cinnamon roll.
