A VIENNESE COFFEE HOUSE
"is a democratic club to which admission costs the small price of a cup of coffee. (...) every guest can sit for hours on end, discuss, write, play cards, receive his mail, and, above all, can go through an unlimited number of newspapers and magazines." Stefan Zweig 💛

Thank you, I might just give it a try. Maybe it lifts my melancholy!

TRUE GOODNIGHT STORY
Me looking up at that milky blue façade
almost caused two accidents:
An onlooker risking to fall off the sidewalk
while watching me nearly toppling over backwards.
Leopoldstadt, 2nd District

I always think of James A. Michener when looking at what the storms piled on in the north of Jekyll Island. Don't ask me which book.
