Another glimmer of hope for our city...

I'm toying with the idea of actually exploring the city in which we've lived for oh, 7.5 years and finding all the fabulous nuggets that make it...well...fabulous. Up first, Cafe Verde (www.mycafeverde.com). Clay and Veronica discovered it several weeks ago and I finally went by today. Great coffee, great desserts and and a wide array of sandwiches and other entrees made with local foods. The atmosphere is something special, dotted plentifully with tables and comfy couches and chairs. It's our very own Central Perk! On weekends they feature bands, folk, jazz, you name it. It really is something special, and gives me great hope for Lawrence. If you live in the area, go visit it, it's right downtown on Essex Street!
