Americans reinventing coffee houses that aren't Starbucks be like:
You gotta pay to be at a coffee house. And sure, coffee isn't terribly expensive and most places won't kick you out even hours after you've bought your single cup of coffee, but non-Starbucks coffee shops are usually tiny and in some places hard to find.
I think this is why Borders went out of business...
Borders was pretty cool.
What was borders?
A bookstore that also had a cafe in it. People would go there and buy a drink or whatever and read. The problem was after reading they didn't have to buy the book. I read a ton of comic books for the price of a coke back then. A library set up like this would be pretty cool.
That sounds like Hastings kind of.
So many good stores that are now extinct.
This is secretly one of my life goals: have (graphic novel) library that is also a café. Maybe when I'm retired (aka never) 👌
I like it, and can it have a dedicated place to draw/create? What's the auditory experience going to be like? You're going to have to tell us more about this cafe you're 'never' going to have XD
Look, we've reinvented the tubes a bunch of times...
We will reinvent humanity a billion times....
