coffee shop's

I've noticed recently how many coffee shop's there are in my city. Even in smaller town's they are becomming ever more popular. I remember the day's when coffee shop's were a specialty item, now they seem to be mainstream.

coffee shop's today seem to be actual hangout's. Place's where people go not just to drink a good cup of coffee but to actually meet people.

I see the group's of people who meet there and then the occasional "loner" who just need's to get out of the house and didn't know where else to go. It's a great place to meet interesting people from every walk of life. Don't forget the "book-worms" who seem to think studying in a crowded place is somehow condusive to thier concentration level.

Personally, I also like to go out to the local shop and see who's there, what's going on and so forth. Funny thing is, I have plenty of my own coffee at my house and allway's seem to have a pot brewing but that doesn't seem to stop me from going out and spending $5.oo bucks on some sort of fancy brew that I really don't need.

I do this in the hope's of meeting someone new or running into a friend or two. There just seem's to be something cool about getting out of the house, having a good chat, and just maybe, a good cup of coffee that beat's my own coffee made at the house.
