Heh, funny you should mention the danger of defaulting to a place you know well... My husband and I own a used bookshop. I have to work to keep from defaulting to it, but I'm getting there. The fictional one is sort of an amalgam of several shops that I've liked over the years.
(Our bookshop is small, not swanky, part of a small shopping strip, one floor, shotgun, rare book cases behind the counter, two employees (husband, myself), we started it from scratch 15 years ago, and there is no basement. 8-))
