Ani: Other than the nonprofits that are outright embezzling and defrauding people, the worst kind is the organization that takes from the community to enrich itself through entirely legal means. I have lived behind COCA for five years and their multi-million dollar facilities expansion and renovation used heavy construction equipment that completely ruined the alley behind COCA—an alley shared by many many residents including faculty and staff from WashU and non-uni folks. Initially they admitted responsibility and got the two equipment-created potholes in the cement filled with tar. Needless to say the tar filling lasted about 6 months. The structural damage to the concrete wasn’t just the two portholes but cracks you can see leading from kingsland avenue right to COCA’s back door. Since the “bandaid solution” failed, they started to deny any responsibility and suggested I deal with the UCity govt. I am beyond disgusted by their irresponsible, selfish, and decidedly Anti-community stance. You do not trash public spaces to enrich your private organization, and they should have hired their contractors to fix the decimated concrete alley that continues to disintegrate. COCA’s shameless, uncaring, arrogant attitude towards the community in which they are embedded is also obvious in how they periodically use the neighboring apartments trash bins to get rid of bulk items that they should be donating, recycling, or at the very least, disposing of in the responsible way. The hypocrisy of purporting to serve the community, while simultaneously trashing it with abandon is beyond despicable. These ongoing behaviors belie callous and self-superior leadership for whom “community” is just a marketing word to get more donations so they can build taller private buildings, and trash public spaces in the process.

Casey Peetz: Saw a play there on the top floor. I've also seen a spooky play there in the basement. Both were excellent.
