Coffee shops have taken the place of the malt shops, diners,
pool halls. They are gathering spots,
even for the solo sipper, reading stops and blogging offices.
Some I have had the pleasure to enjoy just
have ‘that’ quality which makes me want to return time & again. Many have similarities that I intentionally
observed at our local caffeinated hot spot yesterday morning.
“the dance”
switching of seating from...
comfy chair
to table
one table
to another (closer to the window, smaller, further away from kids….)
the personalities
slightly
over middle-age gentleman who watches the young lady as she packs up her
belongings to leave…not sure if he was merely curious about her things or her
“things”!!
the older
men sitting at tables, oft times alone, facing the TV which is set to a news
program and has no volume, only closed caption
the
students with earbuds in, papers spread around and laptops open
ladies’
‘coffee & talk’ (pronounced like a New Yorker!!)
business
meetups
The cacophony of conversations ebb & flow based on the
mix of patrons
~when it
ebbs, I can hear the music
~when it
flows, it’s like the heartbeat of a community
