I’ve had to find a local coffee shop to hangout at…

A #Lent26 Reflection

When I meet people it’s likely to be at a coffee shop. I meet people at Starbucks, Watermark Community Church, and Communion Coffee.

At the end of last summer my mainstay for hanging out, Staycation, closed due to our city reimagining the town center. Richardson has a lot of things. A historic downtown, in the sense that I grew up knowing in Marshall, hasn’t (pardon the pun) historically been part of that mix. But, that’s changing as the up and coming generation shifts from buying a house to apartment living.

Apartments are expensive (in my opinion) but, I guess less expensive than buying a house nowadays. This new generation of apartments often includes all the amenities and community activities like shopping, dining, and entertainment all in one place. You can work and play all in the same space.

Bah, humbug. I genuinely loved hanging out at my old local coffee shop and saw no need to tear it down.
