Second EDIT: He's doesn't represent The City of Arcata! He's doesn't do guided tours, he doesn't spout local history while on a hoverboard. THIS IS WHY! You and other delusional traveling royalty are why. Your poor parents.
EDIT: If the shopkeeper comes off as cold or unfriendly, take a minute to appreciate his situation.

How many hours does he stand on cement? I couldn't. Should be treated to a massage and a hotel weekend by the citizens of Arcata as a thanks. Imagine his disposition after knowing he's recognized & appreciated. In my head movies anyway...

Lastly, THE PAYPHONE BOOTH, " Kavinsky" -may be protected and respected. Night Call. Endangered...

The location is perfect, less than two blocks from our home. The staff tolerates my ex-husband, especially Jonathan. Jonathan is earning his angel wings. Shop at this store. Get to know the staff. Be a part of the...
