I can confirm there are still many a coffee shop to be found on campus at UCLA. Whether or not you'd want to drink any of the actual coffee is an entirely different matter!

I bought one a couple of years ago for the sole purpose of playing one game: Zelda Tears of the Kingdom. It's hard to express how much pleasure it's given me since then. I'm still playing it...

Moved to LA a couple of years ago from England, a place where a good sandwich is one of life's staples. Your sandwich map of LA has been a godsend - better than google maps for navigating the city.

I'm no stock trader, but if I were then I would simply buy now and then sell when the stocks go up.
