It&#8217;s pretty lively in there for such a non-location &#8211; just off 35th on Henderson. (Note to self: Stop calling your new neighborhood a non-location.) You wouldn&#8217;t think there&#8217;d be a slow but steady stream of drop in traffic, but there was. It&#8217;s a nice walk from our house, maybe 20 minutes. I&#8217;ll be needing to ask what blend they&#8217;re brewing next time I&#8217;m in and to see if there isn&#8217;t something milder on tap.<\/p>\n<p>Photo note: I downloaded <a href=\"http:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/downloads\/details.aspx?familyid=D48E808E-B10D-4CE4-A141-5866FD4A3286&amp;displaylang=en\">this gizmo<\/a> that allows me to preview my RAW files in thumbnail view in Windows.
