Rosewoman: Swing Street Cafe. The musical cat signifies the jazz music one hears there. Great collection of jazz LPs.
Rosewoman: Pouring rain and no umbrella. Stood in a doorway waiting for rain to stop, looked back and noticed a passageway to the interior of the block with this interesting sign at the end. "Come inside" it said. So I did.
Rosewoman: Appealing drawing, so in I went.
Rosewoman: Lots of soft, natural light. I was wet and hungry and had a bowl of great soup, a half sandwich, and coffee. Perfect.
Rosewoman: Kitchen and interior were pleasantly industrial.
