Old Corner Bookstore

The Old Corner Bookstore is a location in the Commonwealth in 2287.

Layout
Entering on the first floor, there are rows of bookshelves within a single-room store. There is a sitting/reading area in the back of the store, near where the second floor has collapsed onto the first. Near the entrance is the check-out counter. There is a lootable cash register, and an enamel bucket with Nuka-Cola Quantum inside.

Judging by the rubble from the second floor, there may have been computers on the top floor. However, all that remains currently is a lectern with folding chairs around it and a sitting area with a first aid container with aid items. There is a skeleton with a burnt textbook in the sitting area, on the ground. It is mostly empty on the second floor, other than this.

Notable loot

 * Nuka-Cola Quantum - In an enamel bucket by the front counter.
 * Racetrack advertisement - Note on the top of the front counter.
 * Help wanted! - Note in one of the cubbyholes in the front counter.

Behind the scenes

 * The building is based on the real-world Boston landmark, the Old Corner Bookstore, which was originally built in 1712 and converted into a bookstore in 1829.
 * The building was threatened with demolition and replacement by a parking garage in 1960 and was "rescued" through a purchase by Historic Boston, Inc. for the sum of $100,000. The building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is a Boston Landmark under the auspices of the Boston Landmarks Commission.
 * While the Old Corner Bookstore in the Fallout universe remains a bookstore, in present-day Boston, the building houses a Chipotle Mexican Grill.
 * In reality, the Old Corner Bookstore is south of the Old State House, and on the opposite side of the street; while in the game, they are on the same side of the street, and the Old State House is south of the Old Corner Bookstore.
 * 1) When entering at night, the second window on the left will have a bright glow, causing a tracer-like effect upon walking closer to it.
