(Okay, reading that Carol Queen is the chair of the board of directors makes me wonder: What is it now? Still a coop? Did the official owner change, but the structure remain the same? Was the plan to switch it out of coop-ness dumped? At any rate: They've still lost their glimmer, in my eyes.)
I'm not sure what their current structure is. I know that they bought out Joani Blank, the original founder, some years ago.
I haven't been too pleased with them in recent years either. I do appreciate their commitment to holding drop-in classes, though, as well as their historical role in encouraging Americans to talk about sex and sex toys without whispering.
I guess I should honor the history. They were very important in their time, and still are to a large degree. I just compare them to ten or fifteen years ago, and sigh a bit.
