What a cool post and reflection about a place that clearly meant a great deal to you. Sitting in a cafe watching people go about their lives is a past time of mine. The arguments, business meetings, casual connections, lovers, happiness, sadness, lonliness, enjoyment...So many things to observe about people and all in a comfortable and welcoming place? What's not to love.
Yes, it was a very special place where several dozen of my friends and I used to meet and hang out. Weekdays, it was a little quieter for people watching. Always a comfortable and welcoming place.
I'd enjoy it I think. Sounds like my sort of place. (If it was still there.)
I think you most definitely would. It was very colourful, a spectrum of enjoyment.
I liked the idea of the couch position, I'm not a fan of having my back to the room, windows or door.
That would be couch fitting.
