There's something new at Firestorm! 🚲🚲🚲

This custom bike rack has been in the works for a while, but it's arriving at the perfect time because our street is getting bike lanes! The Haywood Road resurfacing project is currently underway and includes major upgrades for cyclists and pedestrians.

With space for six bikes, this awesome rack was designed by local artist David Earl Tomlinson / Dynamic Metalwork whose prior creations for our co-op can be seen inside and outside the bookshop.

Biking isn't just good for you and your environment, it's also a form of transportation that reduces neighborhood congestion, respects your privacy, and still works when a hurricane shuts down every gas station in the region for two weeks (ask us how we know).

See you at the bike rack! 🌞

On Wednesday of next week, we're hosting a virtual conversation on the history of rebellion explored in the new book "Anarchy in the Big Easy." Author Max Cafard and illustrator Vulpes will be joined by artists Liz Lessner and Mat Keel to share their graphic account of the quest for freedom in radical and revolutionary New Orleans!

From maroon communities and labor militancy to jazz music and armed community defense, "Anarchy in the Big Easy" pairs the storytelling of a lifelong New Orleanian with the striking images of a comix artist based in the Gulf South.

Register for this free event and find your copy of "Anarchy in the Big Easy" at https://firestorm.coop/events/3460-revolutionary-new-orleans-a-conversation-with-max-cafard-and-vulpes.html.
