Sculpture in Seattle
Last night I had the privilege of attending my good friend's gallery opening. John Leglar, a Dubuque native, put his sculpture on display for all to see and buy. John's creates great stone sculpture and he's an impressive guy because he stays true to his calling. it's not easy being an artist, but people like John are a great reminder that it's okay to follow one's bliss. If you would like to learn more about John's artwork - email me and i'll put you in contact.
John's sculptures are inspired by nature, sea life and chemistry.
I told him to borrow the glasses and look a bit more artsy and less earthy.

Seattle = Coffee
Seattle has become synonymous with a particular corporate coffee company, but it's also filled with local shops and roasters all over town.
Last night I stumbled upon this ad and needless to say - it caught my attention.
"I have a coffee shop on the burke gillman trail. I just bought it and I am unable to run the shop due to unforeseen circustances. I would like someone to take over the shop for $5,000. That is just enough to cover the supplies. the lease is $415 a month which includes everything w s g & wifi. The shop has tons of potential if someone put the work in. If your interested contact me"
So I went and looked at it this afternoon - it's great! And I have the first option to buy it. So, I am now seriously exploring the possibility of owning my own coffee shop in Seattle. I need/want to look into a few more important details, but right now I am thinking I may do it. Here are a couple of photos of the place. It is small, but located on a heavily travelled bike path and, like the ad says, it does have a lot of potential. I may add some Hawaiian shaved ice to the summer menu.
It's currently called the Trailside Cafe, but I am thinking of naming it "Comet Coffee" after my favorite Washington, D.C. coffee house. I use to joke with my friend Sid that I was going to move to Seattle and open my own Comet someday. I've also thought of calling it - "The Broken Spoke"...or "Eh Brah Cafe"
If you owned a coffee shop on a bike path in Seattle, what would you name it?
Now accepting submission. Stay tuned for updates on this latest business venture.
