A few years back my wife and I decided to buy a coffee shop. It turned out to be the greatest thrill of our lives. Yes, on one side of the main street, Starbucks, and on the other side of the main street, Dunkin Donuts. You may think we made a mistake, but we thrived on our differences. First, I had a stage built in the front windows and then I set up a record player with a record shelve holding about 450 albums. People could go up and show their kids what records were. Historic was the atmosphere at COFFEE, PLEASE. Western Connecticut State University (were I graduated) sent their students in droves to our shop and the music department provided many nights of music. Choirs sang on many Sundays and people made a point of stopping in weekly to play board games with their children and to buy our COFFEE...SIZES ????  Well  BIG  or  BIGGER ... Our brand of expresso was Alfred's. It was made by an expert coffee roaster named Afred. For more info you can check archives in Danbury Connecticut. Now we live in Arizona, Ice Coffee Please.
