Kepler's turned 50 this year and it would be an understatement to say that its closing has really hit people hard. Even the New York Times had noted its passing.
The rally will be followed by a work session at city hall to try to find local resources - money and people - to save the store. They're looking for people to invest and people who may have business or legal skills they're willing to offer.
