    Great little book store. I strive to check if the book I'm looking for is here before going anywhere else. I highly recommend it.

    So many fun queer books with great events and awesome community support!…read more This is a store you always want to come back to

    On the evening of September 18, I walked past a bookstore with my dog and was attacked by three…read moredogs while trying to push them away from us. Two dogs clamped onto my dog's neck, and I was suddenly struck by a homeless man and his partner; he punched me in the face three times as my dog was mauled by two pit bulls. The bookstore employees declined to assist or call the police, choosing only to watch while I summoned an ambulance. I asked them to contact the police so the attackers could not leave, but they refused. That is all I have to say... in filing the police report, I found that this store is politically active, which I can appreciate, but not to the point where they would let another human being be harmed. They are unwilling to cooperate or talk to the police, and so they just let someone be assaulted and punched in the face three times. While watching it occur they refused to do anything to help. They'll be hearing from me, but what I would like them and maybe for you to ask yourself before you patronize this business is: I wonder what they would've done if it that had been one of them walking their dog and they had two pit bulls on the dog's neck and they had been punched in the face? What would they have done if those dogs instead of attacking me and my dog, had run into their bookstore and started attacking their customers or themselves? Would they have also refused to call the police or report the incident because of their political views? I don't think their political views would've even entered their minds at the moment they were being attacked! If your idea of politically correct is that your values mean something so long as it isn't you who are in jeopardy...
