Staff at the Silk Road Café have been granted access to the premises following a court injunction. The injunction allows employees to remove personal belongings and clean the café after a period of being locked out. A Journal reporter accompanied staff as they began the process of clearing refrigerators and generally tidying the space. The details of the initial dispute leading to the lockout remain unclear, but the court order facilitates a return to the café for limited purposes. This action suggests a legal battle regarding the café’s operation or ownership is underway. The staff’s access is currently limited to cleanup and removal of possessions, not resuming business operations. Further legal proceedings are anticipated.
