I wonder how many buildings the City of Austin owns, that are not kept up to code? Why don't they help keep good tenants in and save themselves the trouble of taking over another property? Then again, may be there's a new buyer hoping to put up some condos after cutting all the trees down. That would be the plan here in Buffalo!

This is a tragic loss and has been traumatic for the people who have invested so much in the space, from long nights of hard work repairing bikes and mailing off books to days of tending the garden to evenings of laughter in the kitchen. Despite the current unfortunate situation, the Rhizome Collective is not dead.  The Rhizome Collective in actuality is not the space from which it has operated for the last 9 years. It is a collective that will continue to exist even through the hardest of times.  The Rhizome Collective also has 501-(c3) status that is not affected by the loss of use of the space at 300 Allen st.</DIV></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://rhizomecollective.org/"><P> 				<FONT color="#0000ff"><U><A href="http://partners.guidestar.org/controller/searchResults.gs?action_donateReport=1&partner=networkforgood&ein=26-0041254">DONATE NOW</A></U></FONT> </P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://rhizomecollective.org/"><UL>
