miss_chance and I were in Flagstaff on our honeymoon not quite fifteen years ago, we thought it had a certain something... you know what I mean. Like Austin, or Boulder, it's a cultural oasis. I don't even remember what we found -- a used bookstore, perhaps, or a neat breakfast spot -- that made us like it so much, but this is one of those places in which a bohemian coffeehouse like Macy's simply has to exist. It didn't take very long to find it, and once I did I got a lovely grilled cheese (Havarti on homemade whole wheat, made on a panini press), and a hearty vegetable stew (it's all vegetarian here, natch, but the food doesn't suffer). The chai is fantastic. There's an enormous coffee roaster in the middle of the seating area, and a sign saying "coffee roasted daily", and a delicious smell pervading the whole place. The only flaw is there don't seem to be any outlets near the bar seating along the windows, so anyone with a computer has to take a table. But at least the tables near the outlets are 2-tops instead of 4.

Flagstaff was nice. We talked about going back there some time for an anniversary or something, didn't we? (Or was that Albuquerque, too?

Not sure where else to post this that you will see it ... (Electrified Railroad) ...

I assume this is the same one.
It appears to have been built to bring coal to the powerplant without having to truck in Diesel. I guess they couldn't quite bring themselves to run the engines on coal. ;)
