The effects of the recession are being felt everywhere. For independent bookstores and non-profit cultural institutions, the crunch in consumer confidence has taken its toll. Be that as it may, can you envision the greater Los Angeles area or North OC without its mainstays? I don’t want to wake up to a day when Breath of Fire Theater closes its doors or Calacas moves on from Santa Ana. To the north, Teocintl in Boyle Heights unfortunately has already suffred such a fate. Imix Bookstore in Eagle Rock has managed to stay open, however, in spite of the challenges of the economy. Elisa Garcia’s independent establishment remains an integral part of the community.
A new article in Cafe Media profiles her work with the bookstore. As Garcia says, “We are still here because people love us.” It’s important to support outlets like Imix Bookstore. Read the article and show the spot some love:
