When I lived in this area 5 years ago, this was the place I went all the time to get some writing done. I used to edit a magazine and write freelance and there was something about this particular location that just fit the bill. Now that I live in…More »

We all know what Starbucks is, so let me just review this location. It is busy, but if you're lucky enough to get a good seat, you have a great view in front of you. You can see the beach, the passersby, and sitting there, soon you'll know you live…More »
