Coffee shop in a train!
For as long as I can remember, and almost certainly much longer, a pair of decommissioned train cars–a red caboose and a longer yellow passenger car–have stood at the railroad crossing in the town near where my parents still live. For a time when I was a kid, they were home to a Mexican restaurant, which failed within a few years, and the train cars stood empty for most of the next three decades.
On a recent trip back, I saw that someone had finally put a coffee shop in them, but over Christmas I finally got to go in and have coffee, and it’s delightful.
