Monday January 20, 2014  Martin Luther King Day

Como Grind (formerly Muddsuckers) had its "soft reopening." (Two weeks after the originally-announced date.)  Grand opening in a couple of weeks.

Good to have my neighborhood coffeehouse back.  Mostly back, anyhow -- the side room renovation isn't nearly complete yet.  And they're not fully set up in the main room, or in the kitchen.
