Highland Park -- Five years ago, four locals involved in the arts took over a bookstore and reimagined it as The Pop-Hop—a cooperative space where zines, art, and activism could thrive. What began as a solo-run bookshop is now a hub for creators of color, grassroots educators, and neighborhood residents. This Saturday, May 3, The Pop-Hop celebrates its fifth anniversary with a full day of $5 workshops, $10 performances, and community-building activities.
