Two of my favorite things in Fort Wayne, Indiana:
Firefly Coffee House
Coffee in the Midwest can’t be compared to coffee in the Pacific Northwest. I don’t hold it against the Midwest, but it’s simply not important out here. Firefly has a lot of redeeming funk and character, and that’s what kept bringing back during the years I lived here.
Across the street from the Firefly is Retroactive:
Retroactive has an incredible amount of vintage clothing. I bought a few cardigans and some other goodies. Rose owns it, and her checkout counter tells you a lot about her personality. Full.
It smells a bit like moths in there, but I suppose one would expect it. Nevertheless, there is vintage gold in there, and I have never left empty handed.
Dear Josh,
I would like to get coffee and chat before you leave the Fort. I leave for Bloomington on the 27th. My cell phone number is six 1 five - 1 five 2 two.
