“September 21st is the date of the 9/11 memorial flag removal. Nearly 3,000 flags, placed annually at Pepperdine University to honor all the unfortunate victims on that dreadful day. Both American and International are represented; a solemn sight to behold. We volunteered for the removal, and it was quite a task. And other than the initial help from the Pepperdine Men's Basketball Team, at least until they had to return back to campus, average age of volunteers? 50 and over. And not as many of us as you might expect. But the minimal crew managed to complete our task; dismantling and wrapping, in just over 2 hours. We were scheduled for an estimated 3. One beautiful part of the day was the lack of any talk of Left or Right Wing Politics. Only a gathering of Americans of multiple backgrounds, coming together and unified in this sacred task.”
“Staff are knowledgeable and very helpful. The space is small but well stocked. I visited on a Sunday and was feeling some book burn out after two dense reads, the clerk spoke with me about what books I enjoy and helped me pick something outside my normal zone. It was just what I needed and I stayed up until 1 am to finish it. Definitely my go to bookstore from now on. The sections of the store aren’t marked, it’s clear where some sections but not others. Then again, if the sections were marked I never would have spoke to the clerk, had a lovely conversation, and chose the book that I did.”
