Act Up, Peace movements for stopping Reagan's dirty little wars in Central America, and any number of literary groups were present. There was a consciousness that was present in Old Town back then, that felt human and non-marketed to. Pasadena could use a dose of reality like this once again, especially in these contentious times. The Espresso Bar at one time was the center of many political and artistic movements.

I was just lamenting the old pre-Old Town days, when there were still thrift stores, and the corporations hadn't yet taken over. I’d love to see this place come back too.

From that time, only the pawn shop and porn shop remain. I would dearly love to see the place come back (with wireless), and be open late, and fill back up with Art Center and Caltech students studying, and teenagers too young to drink reading poetry at an open microphone and practicing their hipster poses. I'm there. I'm in. Sign me up and short-pull me a triple. The “E-Bar” was a real Old Town fixture, back when it was a low-rent artists’ district.
