Hello, Port Avenue. Port Avenue is a very eclectic community. Over the years, it's really been a gathering space for folks from all over Tucson, all over the world. We've got a connection, a collection of students from the U of A, from Pima Community College of Longtown Community Residents. We have activists and artists, musicians, all of that mixed up here together, which makes it a really special part of Tucson. And we really, the English National Grounds is also very much a safe space for people. And so even within Port Avenue or within the U of A, there are people or groups that may not feel particularly welcome and we want to make sure that they feel welcome. There are also books that we feel comfortable on, kids having, really encourage individual strengths and community, self-image, kids. And we really work hard to have folks buy for and about people from traditional marginalized communities. Somebody came in and sat down and was reading, said, oh gosh, I feel bad about the parking meters. I keep opening in quarters and thinking I can go anywhere else and park for free and have my coffee. They said, but the thing is that this space matters so much. This place is really important to me into Tucson.
