Go Figure...
I spent years sitting in the Beehive each evening. This is a coffeehouse in Southside on East Carson. You should check it out if you've never been there. The manager in the early 90s would sleep on the black couch in the back. I think I learned everything I ever learned during my Masters sitting at a table drinking tea or coffee. I met girls there and reconnected with my wife there one May. I've spent warm summers there and chilly winters in suits, jeans, shorts, and everything else. This was my world for years. I played spades in the back, fell in love with Rent: The Musical here when Point Park College drama used the setting for a scene. Go figure.

My senior year of high school my friends and I bonded over Cafe Mochas at a local Coffee Plantation. Upon going to college we all split apart, but me and L. L and I did not pass each other in a day to day basis. So she and I began meeting at the new local Coffee Plantation. I spent many hours laughing, playing cards, studying, christmas secret santa, meeting friends significant others, and even saying goodbye to other friends. There was a single couch that i swear i spent enough time and money there to deserve atleast a cushion of. Sadly about 6 months after i left college the coffee house closed to be replaced by even more corporate mini mall stores, yes a Coffee Plantation was replaced by even more corporate stores. If i had to define my college years that coffee house would be included in the definition. *A
