Here in the NW, we have espresso stands literally all over the place. On my 40 mile commute into work, I pass close to 2 dozen. The marketing gimmick is now to have the baristas wear as little as possible. The lines for these places are very long in the am.

no more pasties

Is this unique to the PNW?

Well, I can tell you, in north Alabama, you'd have to be looking for an espresso joint to find one, and you'd almost certainly have to drive a while, and they're clothed. If they were in bikinis you'd have to wait in line, probably, for a few days, then the police would show up and close it down under the pretext of a health code violation. The Baptists would never, ever put up with it, and the Methodists would just open one eye at the drive thru.

The county commissioner in the related story linked to your link there in Belfast was named Tim Sheldon. How funny!!

Weird. Bremerton is where I got saved, back in 1981.
