Former president remembers effort to save Arcade
I read with sadness your Nov. 24 article concerning the passing of Joe Zappani (“Giuseppe Zappani, who saved Arcade Building, dies at 65”). I spent a fair amount of time with Joe both during his purchase of the Arcade Building and afterward. He truly was a testament to the spirit of Riverside, as well as the savior of one of Riverside’s most famous landmarks.
