A historical labor of love\" is how proprietor Pete Grigsby III describes his

Eden Bookshop just off Liberty Square.

\"I didn't buy it to make money. It's more of a service to people,\" Grigsby

said about his newly opened store at 118A N. Main St. The shop, which primarily caters to members of The Church of

Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, opened in Liberty earlier this month after

operating for 10 years along East 47th Street in Kansas City.

Grigsby, a former television weather broadcaster for KMBC-TV Channel 9 who

now works for the Blue Springs School District, said he purchased the business

five years ago. With the soft economy, Grigsby said he wanted to move the store

to a better location.
