I wanted to take a moment to send a prayer and condolences to the owners and customers of the Flintridge Bookstore and Coffeehouse in La Canada, CA. A horrible accident occurred and cost the lives of two customers.Flintridge Bookstore, to my understanding is a relatively new store, and I hope that all of you will join me and doing whatever we can to help them through their grief and the process of rebuilding their store and their lives.
No one should be alone in a tragedy such as this and I will personally be making an effort to help this store rebuild. Stay tuned for future details on this Blog as I discover how we can help our industry friends.

This is horrendous. This is a bookstore on my list to visit, not 30 miles from me. If I find out any way others can help, I'll let you know.

Want to add, now they are saying that the building is unstable. Oh boy.
Just awful, so tragic for the families of those people. And what a shame the building may not be saved.

I'm surprised more people were not killed besides the two in the car, especially considering the truck is almost completely in the store. How terrible!

Why is it that the idiot driver always lives and innocent people die?

Very distressing. Bookstores have enough problems. Condolences to the families of the customers.
Ye gads. My wife and I are sitting here, aghast. Our condolences and thoughts go out to the owners and the relatives of the victims.
Wow, it's amazing not more people were killed.
My thoughts and prayers are with the people whose lives have been changed.
Best wishes,
I'm so sorry to hear this. What a tragedy.
You're right. Every moment IS precious...My heart goes out to all who are suffering from their loss.
