The Sunday morning tradition has become to head over to the Water Canyon Coffee Company for bagels, coffee and Tea Zings. “We almost live off of them,” Hailey says. Ski-hat, long black hair, black jeans and tee shirt; the girl behind the bar mixes the Tea Zing, whisks the juice, milk and fruit together and pops them into the blender, all the while talking with a local about getting her car back after being without freedom for two months. Haven’t had a chance to listen to them yet, but the Mojave Hotshots are on tap to play jazz there every Sunday. Any other given evening you can pop in and catch another live local band or musician.
Stuffed French toast at the Crossroads Café. Three pieces of challah bread stuffed with raspberry cream cheese served with your choice of bacon or sausage or fruit and a cup of great coffee.
Local radio: Last year as the Sawtooth fire raged through the neighborhood I tuned in hourly to find out about road closures and evacuations. Want to know what’s on the school cafeteria menu for your kids’ elementary, junior high or high school? It’s broadcast every morning. High school sports scores, broadcast daily. Finally, when I’m tired of listening to the top 40 country songs over and over, I can tune in on weekends to hear the best of the local music scene, the whole range from gospel to jazz to rock and roll.
Something about an environment where the coffee is served 70’s style, local story-tellers and poets do readings, and most of the audience is comfortable in hiking boots and pony-tails, makes this my kind of place.
