According to Sarah Balcomb, a Highland Park resident who is working with partner Robey Clark to open the new business, Pop Hop Books & Curio "will be a creative retail space merging a bookshop and print studio, which will offer workshops, classes, talks, readings, performances and other creative programs.

"Our goal is to make it a place that fosters inspiration and action in equal measure," Balcomb said.
