coffee and cigarettes

Well...I just got back from my favorite coffee meeting spot in the philadelphia area: Leaves and Beans. It really isn't the greatest place on earth: the coffee isn't very good, the staff probably wouldn't last a day at Mickey D's, they charge full price for a refill, etc...

But, you could smoke there. Yep, that's right. In a day where day after day, city after city becomes a smoke free enviornment, this was the shining star. Not only could you smoke, but you were encouraged to do so: cigars for sale, ashtrays everywhere, smoking employees.

Today they closed. Two weeks before I move and they are gone. Of course I'm moving to a town where it is illegal to smoke within 20 feet of any storefront, so I guess I'll get used to it. My question is, what do people do when they sit around coffee shops for hours on end if they don't smoke?

My mom likes the idea of a new blog, so we're gonna go with it.
