David, glad that you feel better about yourself by blaming "mexican immigrant children" as the cause for the demise of Acres. The truth of the matter, blaming one specific nation's immigrants is kind of ignorant on your behalf.. other than not capitalizing a proper noun... its Mexican not mexican you dumb f*ck. The demise of Acres is more economic, access, and branding rather than the nation’s immigrants coming to this country. Have you thought about the Nicaraguans, Guatemalans, El Salvadorians or Brazilians? Do they contribute to the demise of Acres or is it just the Mexican’s? You obviously have greater issues, more so than any self help book at Acres can provide. My suggestion to you is to pull your pants down and shove your thumb up your ass and them smell it until you fall asleep.

It doesn't matter where he moves. With the majority of mexican immigrant children dropping out of high school at 7th grade reading levels and worse, in another 10 years, independent bookstores will be a curiosity at best.
Best to open video game rental kiosks. That's where the new immigrant money is going.

They could move to 1236 S. Magnolia, Anaheim where there is a big empty store...no, wait, that's where the Book Baron used to be until ridiculously high real estate bubble prices prompted a greedy developer to jack the rent up to astronomical levels a bookstore could never afford. Oh, well. I'm sure that whatever is arranged (anyone know?) for the site now will be a big improvement. How about a new Fitness Center? Maybe a new Police Neighborhood Center? What about a park? Someone will surely think of something real neat...can't wait.

A "new day" for the RDA because there aren't any more historic structures in the way of their plans. And how nice to note they weren't "forced out", as a $2.8 million dollar payment (that's our money, people) makes things so tidy. But if the owners' had gotten uppity, the RDA can always eminent domain their ass and they'd get whatever they RDA thinks is reasonable.
