Just read that Uncle Hugo's burned down. There is a go-fund-me to help rebuild.

The loss of the nation’s oldest independent SF bookstore is a terrible shame, collateral damage in a much larger shame.

Civil unrest is often explicitly excluded in insurance policies, and apparently that is the case here. The owner has indicated he will review his options and may turn to crowdsourcing in order to rebuild.

Sad indeed.
It's a strange world. Let's keep it that way.
