The evening of Thursday, June 21 started with a beer and Riverwest Co-op Café vegan tacos, music provided by Michael Bootzin. This was the celebration of People’s Books Cooperative’s (PBC) fifth anniversary, complete with candles and a vegan chocolate cake. It was also the public announcement of the move from their location on Locust east of Oakland to Center Street in Riverwest. Mike Gonzales, of PBC board did the talking. Gonzales called Riverwest the perfect location for their move. The neighborhood nurtures small business and supports the co-op movement. It seems there is no better place to celebrate than the Riverwest Public House a cooperative tavern dedicated to lending a hand to co-op ventures in the neighborhood. This event was part fundraiser and part political platform. (Learn more about People’s Books Cooperative at the end of this story)

teacher, and now a politician.
