The five of us, on this slightly chilly early morn, had a very stimulating ride out the relatively new SE 53rd bikeway, to gawk at all the new development on Woodstock, and revisit a shop that appears to us to have made extra efforts to provide a variety of opportunities for its clientele to sit and stay a while.

With vivid murals inside and out, varied seating possibilities, and super frendly staff that seem to really enjoy serving the regulars, it feels like the clientele are coming to their 2nd home.   Of course, having a sense of humor helps.

Among our topics were the latest on T’s two college-age children; the latest outrageous statements from Donald Trump and his wannabees, our appreciation for what Bernie Sanders has attained, and our wonderment how Papaccino’s new exterior mural could already show the Tilikum Crossing Bridge and the Milwaukie Max line.
