Signs do not mean anything if you don't follow the rules. For months, there was talk that this barber was not following COVID 19 precautions. He is a lousy barber anyway.

First the trash cans, now more vandalism

 Bathrooms in businesses and coffee shops locked. The trash cans at the post office on 5th and H removed once; brought back; gone again.

Now individuals and businesses who pay for post office boxes and need to access the lobby after hours in the evening have to deal with more restrictions.

All because California legislators, especially the useless County Supervisors and ineffective City of Eureka allow disrespectful criminals and vandals to run this town. The City of Eureka does not even allow access to the second and third floor except for the chosen few. They fence off parts of Eureka City Hall.
