they have been openly hostile to progressive causes (including an "Impeach Newsom" sign in their window and one owner retweeting the "Planned Parenthood sells baby parts" canard), but I cannot definitively link the owners to the eviction. Please keep this

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Roboto;color:#3C4043">In good conscience, I don't recommend coming to any Arcade location. Honestly I really wanted to ignore the politics of this business' owners because they are a local business
with nice seating areas and decent coffee, even when I knew they did not follow mask mandates (that would have at least protected their most health-vulnerable customers). I was still ok supporting them and appreciated the space. The reason I'm writing this
review now is that the conservatism of this business / its owners is infringing on the freedom and operations of the only independent bookstore in Riverside, Cellar Door Books, which is directly next to Arcade's outdoor seating area. Cellar Door Books carries
a wealth of local authors (which of course includes queer, Indigenous, and other minority authors in the community, and events supporting them), loads of children's books, and classics. So! There are some wonderful other local coffee shops -- Mundial's drip
coffee is equally good and their lattes and specialty drinks are much, much better (!!); Molinos and Lift Roasters are also awesome. Take your business elsewhere and don't support a place that doesn't actively support the diversity, and health, of everyone
in their community. We should expect our local businesses to be supportive of us all, and of other businesses. Riverside is better than this.</span><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
