Community Space Looking for Members

By CAROLYN SZCZEPANSKI

For the most part, it has been a good year for the Crossroads Infoshop. After being cramped in a leaky back room in a promising but deteriorating building on Troost Avenue, the community gathering space, music venue and radical book shop moved to a much larger store front with far more foot traffic. Volunteers spent months transforming the empty space with architectural rehab, artistic redecorating and a few coats of new paint.

While the shop is looking good — offering free coffee and internet access in addition to all the reading material — volunteers are still searching for ways to get more people involved. So starting today, the collective is hoping to find a few card-carrying members.
