ugh, i hate to hear grim news about other indie businesses. moving sucks but i’m sure with continued support like this post and then frequenting the new place antigua will pull through. from experience, it also means that its an opportunity to make things better based on lessons already learned.

I’ve been to Antigua a couple of times. Its a cool place, and there is a Brazilian restaurant a couple of storefronts from there. Next time, Antigua should lock in a long-term lease. Especially now that they know their business is viable. Good luck Antigua.

It’s not closing–yet. People are helping out, and Mr. Martinez says they’ll pull through…

hey cindylu,
another disappointment- the libreria martinez bookstore in Santa Ana is also closing. The owner of the bilingual bookstore. Ruben Martinez, was a Macarthur Fellow!?! SAD!

I love those small places…. and If I lived in the same coast, let alone the same state.. I’d be there for sure..

So sad when these cultural insititutions slash community gathering places close down.
