In early June we were disappointed to have biked out NW Naito to Schoolhouse Electric only to discover that one of our favored Ristretto destinations had been closed.  We settled for Cascadia Coffee that day, but still had a hankering to see what was going to happen at Schoolhouse.  Upon reading that Prince Coffee had taken over the iconic atrium space, we re-arranged our destination to fulfill our June craving.  We’re glad to report there seemed to be a few tweaks to the atrium’s coffee space, but thankfully nothing major.

Discussion topics included our frustrations with men who embody “mansplaining,” the rift between established neighborhood associations and the City’s Bureau of Civic Life and Engagement, the boondoggle of residential opportunity zones, E’s upcoming trip to Denver for an AARP meeting where he’ll have a captive audience interested in accessory dwelling units, and G’s birch tree which dropped a major branch without warning, thankfully not harming or damaging anyone/anything.
