Regarding: "Yesterday, I stopped by the Sacred Grounds Coffee House in Arcata requiring a refill for the home stash. To my dismay, the doors were closed. The tables and chairs were gone. What once was a vibrant community meeting place now sported misplaced restaurant machinery, brooms and piles of dust on its floors. What the hell happened?"
You might consider reading the Arcata rags.
Like the Eye, for example.
"Sacred Grounds Organic Coffee Roasters at the corner of Seventh and F streets, will close on June 16."
Or, The Journal.
"It may not be summer-related, but Sacred Grounds is closing for good after one more week."
And, Karen Wilkinson of the Times-Standard also had the story!
"Sacred Grounds will close its doors next month after falling sales, rising overhead and competition became too much to keep the coffee shop a fruitful Arcata business..."

Thanks for the nod, NCP. Forgive my nascent attempt at local social commentary. Yeah, I've read the Eye at least, and I'd heard from others who know the local scene. The piece wasn't intended as news journalism as much as an attempt at personalized punditry...trying to get at my own understanding of "what the hell happened", and what the hell is happening around us. It's great to know someone else reads these ramblings though, isn't it?
The NCJ ruined Sacred Ground's reputation after their story about the co-owner harassing Bayside roasters. As an Arcatan, that was the word I heard on the street. The NCJ has become such a lame rag, I wouldn't even put under a birdcage, lacking content, ethics and most of all GOOD character.
