New Sights
Posted by Adrienne on February 23, 2007
Due to an extreme case of Cabin Fever, my webmaster and I boarded the first plane we happened upon last weekend and found ourselves in the slightly less chilly part of the country called Chicago. It was maybe five degrees warmer than Minneapolis, but even that felt nice. Luckily my younger sister, who happens to reside there, took pity on our frozen souls and provided us with shelter, company, and sustenance. She even humored my appetite for cafes by introducing me to a pleasant little coffee shop called Dollop, located just north of Wrigleyville (yes, that would be the popular neighborhood surrounding Wrigley Field), and a delicious organic cafe in Roger’s Park called the Heartland Cafe.
Bob’s Java Hut

NO POETRY. This is the warning I hear. You may not find it on the door, but it’s pretty obvious inside Bob’s Java Hut that this ain’t no beat-poet-finger-snapping or middle-age-new-age-red-hat-clubbing or college-broken-heart-guitar-strumming type of a joint. Take an old school biker garage, paint it fire engine red and mint green, put some crazy music on, and give em good strong coffee. Oh, and park your ‘cycle in FRONT.
