Although a 30-day eviction notice expired Tuesday for Clyde Casey, he has not closed Another Planet, the Skid Row cultural and service center for the homeless that he runs at a converted gas station. Casey, who lives at the center, says he eventually intends to move out, but would like to stay until the end of August to have time “to look around and get situated in another place.” Businessman Eddie Tyler, from whom Casey sublets the property, said, “We’ve gone ahead with the proper procedures according to law to have (Casey) removed.” Kenneth Babcock, an attorney working for Casey, said he is attempting to settle the matter out of court, but is prepared to engage in litigation “to further this cause.” The center is used for poetry readings, jam sessions, video watching, chess games and also provides a library, portable toilets and storage space for transients.
