Nice to have a coffee companion to help out with the crossword puzzle. He’s not much of a conversationalist, though.

Cowgirls Espresso, just around the corner from The Hangar Cafe. The yellow sign posted on the right side of the building warns customers not to use a camera or video equipment. My guess is that the customers are drawn to Cowgirls Espresso for the unusual and kitschy architecture, but I could be wrong.
