The Anti-War Crisis Center was the Avenue's nexus for antiwar activities. It closed in 2009, and was replaced to a great extent by the Flying Squirrel Community Space. Photos of closing It should be noted that while members of the former anti-war storefront are involved with the Flying Squirrel that the two projects were and are separate entities. The Flying Squirrel collective met at the storefront—and we were certainly thankful for the space—but one did not morph into the other.
The anti-war storefront was a project of Peace Action and Educaton—a task force of Metro Justice. The Flying Squirrel is an independent entity that hosts many events and organizations but is in no way is affiliated with PA&E or MJ.
