fast food

I heart The Ugly Mug. I know most of my *peers* hang out at Bombadill's. I do love Peter and Leslie very much, great coffee--sweet art. But the kids at The Mugg don't necessarily want me to talk to them. You see dear one, at heart I really am a sour old curmudgeon and I want my damn privacy. If I walk into Sidetrack I want to drink my beer-- eat my damn cheeseburger and maybe hold hands with my honey. No politics, no city issues--just beer thanks. When I walk into Bombadill's I feel like I am in Rod Serling directed episode of "Cheers!". I am always greeted and called out to regardless if I can remember the callee's name or not-- So when I want to write--or just quietly grab a "Killer Everything" Bagel and lg black java to go--cuz I really should be grading papers...I like the quick get away.

I know what you be sayin. Sometimes you just want to do your business...

I've never been to the Ugly Mugg, I heard that they are not smoke-free and I remember how the Mud House was so smokey, I couldn't stand it.

yes. It is VERY smoky esp. in the back where I hide. It both makes me want a cigarette and rejoice that I don't need them. But the killer bagels (a sandwich they offer is so perfectly yum--spinach, cuke, bee pollen cream cheese, on a zingerman's everything bagel
