please enlighten me...what are those 27 business that have opened in the past year and a half in old town? I'm down there everyday and I used to work in one of the stores that have closed and I sit and watch the people shopping, I see very few people carrying bags. It feels like a ghost town more often than not. I think that Old Town needs help with marketing itself. it is a much tarnished jewel and it will only get more tarnished unless a group of someones (read "the community") start supporting it more....
Re: “Arcata Vegan Apostate Pepper-Pied”
Seriously SteLo…where did you get industrial from animals nourishing the soil? There is such a thing as low impact farming that involves animals…It's called a farm. My grandparents had one. It worked quite well and kept everyone healthy and happy.
I really think from reading these comments that most people really miss the whole point of this conversation…which is how are we going to feed our population if it keeps growing? The response is that we need to stop reproducing, and look to feeding ourselves more responsibly. In my opinion this means reconnecting ourselves with our food supply. Not everyone can or should go veggie.
