Civilization is coming to Gainesville...finally

The defunct but much loved 2nd Street Bakery will have a more civilized appearance soon. The co-operatively owned and operated Civilization will open it's doors this weekend to little fanfare or even great feats of human accomplishment. It will however, become an incubator of inspiration as long as-like most experiments in human co-operation- it will outlast it predecessors.
From their website www.welcometocivilization.com:

Gainesville will soon be home to the only worker owned cooperative in the southeast United States. The Terranova Catering Company is merging with a new restaurant called Civilization which will be opening soon in the old 2nd Street Bakery location, 1511 NW 2nd St. One of the goals of this effort is to create a stable and prosperous business where management is democratically elected by all worker owners and everyone shares in the
responsibility and the profits.

A great location in a great piece of Gainesville architecture on the eastside of town, Civilization is located at 1511 NW 2nd St or call them at 380.0544
