Episode 237: Outpost

A couple from India who are traveling across the country stop at The Brew. They order coffee and muffins, then ask Mazolli to take their picture. We have a whole album of photos of us at all the coffee shops we have visited, says the woman. The man nods. We’re writing a book about coffee shops, he says. We love them. Coffee shops are little slices of civilization where people meet and maintain community. He hands Mazolli his camera. Mazolli snaps a picture of the Indian couple. Thanks for stopping by, he says. You’ve pretty much made my day.
