So I have been on a kick that I would support our local restaurants and shops. With overall spending down and consumer confidence weak my theory is that the chain restaurants and big box stores would be fine and it was the Mom and Pop shops that would suffer. We have found a good Italian restaurant, a good Mexican restaurant (ok not AZ good but NC good), and as Dad blogged about last year even a good Japanese restaurant that greets you with a hearty "how y'all doin?!" The one move I had not made was coffee.
We do have a new local coffee shop so this week I decided to give it a try. I was leery as soon as I parked. There were only 2 cars in the spaces surrounding the shop, the one I parked next to had a license plate holder said "World's Greatest Maw." I walked in and was greeted warmly, she was super nice, told me my skirt was purdy and took my order. The South will not be rushed so about 10 min later I had my coffee. It tasted a bit like a cup of coffee that was cooked in the microwave for 23 min with a burnt marshmallow added for fun. Yuck!
What I really would like is for our furniture to come from NC again so I would not feel bad about my buying my coffee from Seattle. Is that too much to ask?
