(check @powerhousebooks on twitter for updates and future fundraising efforts)
Powerhouse Arena and Books is hundreds of feet from the waterfront, yet over 28" of flood waters washed into their space and destroyed much of their inventory. They do not have flood insurance. A fundraising announcement will be made in the next few days.
