The tables at my neighborhood Starbucks are back.  They were gone because of a “permit renewal issue” and I wrote a blog post about it, that was pretty scathing, last week.  But this morning when I walked Missy the Brave they had returned.

Perhaps my blog post helped. More likely it was the intervention of Andy Wilson our local councilperson.  He was very responsive and the desired result was achieved within a few days.

I’m pleased because I need a place to tie up Missy during our morning walk when I go in to get my coffee. Now I don’t have to cross one more street and switch my allegiance to Peet’s.  My faith in the system is restored and my delight in urban living continues.
