2006-10-28 00:31:50 I you want to keep it real, Carol's Books (300 Florin Road) is where it's really at... A falling out with the wrong people meant that Carol's Books, the longtime locus of local African-American poetry and writing, didn't get into that spot on Broadway. Underground Books and the 40 Acres Center is propped up by former NBA star Kevin Johnson, the founder of the St. Hope organization. He's done a lot of good stuff in the area, but excluding Carol's Books was not. -MattJurach
