Bill Chino sits down with Scott Hammond to talk through a long Arcata run in restaurants, bars, and old-town buildings, from The Far Side Cafe and Abruzzi to the newly reopened Plaza Grill. Along the way he tells the story of coming west from Long Island, why he stayed in Humboldt after arriving sight unseen in 1979, and how he thinks about hospitality as a service, community, and simply giving people a good place to gather.

Scott Hammond sits down with Solomon Everta for a conversation rooted in Old Town Eureka, local business, mutual aid, and the kind of community life that only makes sense when you’ve actually lived here awhile. Solomon talks about coming to Humboldt from East Bay, finding his footing through work and activism, and eventually becoming the owner of Eureka Books.

They get into the recent expansion into Omnibus on Snug Alley, why independent bookstores still matter, and how a bookstore can be more than retail. For Solomon, it’s about stories, yes, but also about listening, relationships, and giving people a place to feel part of something. He reflects on Food Not Bombs in Arcata, the reality of poverty and housing insecurity, downtown parking debates, worker ownership, and why Humboldt needs more community-minded thinking and less hierarchy.

This episode also wanders through local history, the North Coast arts scene, parenting, and the weirdly urban pleasures of downtown Eureka life. It’s a thoughtful, local conversation with someone who sees books not as escape from community, but as one way back into it.
