The Daily Grind
- 61 years of coffee and the Packers: a fun article on an old coffee club in Green Bay, Wisconsin.
- A guy named Winter ("My name is Winter. Only Winter.") has made it his personal mission in life to visit every Starbuck's franchise. (Hey UPI - you mispelled "programmer" in the 4th paragraph.)
- Cartoonist Jef Mallett is such a fan of The Water Street Coffee Joint in Kalamazoo, Michigan, that he put the place in his comic strip.
- Consider the sounds of Indian coffee shops.
- Coffee and crime: a coffee shop in downtown Nashville, Tennessee, sells more than coffee.
- A coffee-fueled meeting with local politicians at the Catawba County library in Newton, North Carolina. Note the use of the word "coffee" to suggest a sort of heart-to-heart talk. Newton is just a few counties away from our 2002 vacation site, Tsali campground in the Nantahala National Forest.
- Another coffee-fueled meeting with policians in North Carolina.
- "Coffee" as a bare synonym for "meeting" in the Redding, Connecticut, Pilot.
- Someone needs to send Sreekumar Raghavan a copy of Strunk & White:
It is black like the devil, hot like hell, and sweet like a kiss, and it is spreading its aroma cross the world now. The finest organic suspension ever devised in the world COFFEE is steadily conquering the taste buds of millions of people irrespective of caste creed or colour. The case in India is not different. The concoction made from the coffee beans is minting money for several coffee bar chains in India.
A note to newspapers with websites: somewhere on your website, please indicate where the heck you're located.
