This place is awesome! There are a lot of unique and pretty cool stores around the area. Good places to eat and if you look around that one right corner you might just find a kind of food you never had before. I highly recommend the Jamaican place that is usually off g and 11th i think it is. Little cart. Try it! Its yummy! Its just a little push cart but for real, bring your business to that boy! HEHE! On top of that there are some hippies but they come in peace. mainly just a friendly compliment and a wave. Always open to a good conversation tho, some people just get so caught up in themselves ya know. The kids on the street dont harm anyone or anything really. Might ask for a little spare change but not drama like these guys are talking. Anyways give the plaza a chance. its a chill spot. Obviously tho there is drama between the hippies and the Ball licking Yuppies! PPPHUUCK YOU YUPPIESSSS!!! You dont like the homeless in Arcata or the hippies then GET THE PPPPPHUUUUUCCCCCKKKK OUTTTT!!!!! The hippies, and EVERYONE AND ANYONE, NO MATTER HOW CRAZY, NO MATTER HOW WEIRD, NO MATTER WHO THEY ARE, ARE WELCOME IN ARCATA!!! THATS WHY ARCATA IS ARCTA AND IS NORTHERN HIPPY HILL. GOT A PROBLEM WITH IT? GO COMPLAIN...

Oh, PS it looks like there's about 3 or 4 bars next to each other that would have some potential for...
