Two + (Sidney’s 15 months,) bike members went out this overcast morning to see how Cafe Eleven’s faring, it being two years since we first came upon it.   And we’re pleased to report that despite it being a bit out of the way, it seems to be doing well, still retaining the amenities that struck us in 2012.  Its counter and kitchen are the right proportions for this cozy space, its living room area has great art on the walls with reading material and kids toys, and it still serves as a neighborhood gathering spot, albeit a small one.

Topics covered today included overcoming the challenges low income neighborhhod schools like Rigler – where Sidney’s older sister just started – face;  the one ballot measure we liked that’s unlikely to pass (resident “driver cards”;)  what exactly was the GMO-related vote that passed in Jackson County last spring?? – (turns out to have been a ban on growing GMO crops);  and shared experiences with each of our electric cars, (a Leaf and a Fit.)   435 NE Rosa Parks Way
