On the site of the historic Falk’s Market, Julie and Jeff Kinney created a cornerstone in downtown Plainville with an independent bookstore, a café, and an event space for hosting author events. An Unlikely Story Bookstore and Café is a community gathering place for meeting authors, eating breakfast or lunch, or relaxing with a new book and a beer or glass of wine. Directly upstairs to An Unlikely Story is the Second Story.
