End of an Era
The lines to get a coffee pot are usually long. Tomorrow, they are going to be epic.
BANGOR, Maine — The Coffee Pot — an institution to sandwich lovers all over the globe who have been lucky enough to enjoy one — is closing effective Jan. 1, according to owner Skip Rist on Wednesday.I wrote about the place a few years ago. In our increasingly post-customer service economy, the Coffee Pot was a place where you knew you'd get good food for a fair price served by a friendly face.Rumors that the famous State Street sandwich shop, which daily has lines extending out onto the sidewalk, was closing have been circulating for weeks, and Rist had downplayed them.
This video from a local tv station gives a good idea of what the place was like, and how popular it is around here.

I was never a fan of the sandwiches there, but I'm really sad to see such a huge piece of the local culture gone like this.

You may have not intended to do so, but I think you have managed to express the state of mind that a lot of people are in. The sense of wanting to help, but not knowing how or where, is something a lot of us are going through.

The beauty of these blogging engines and CMS platforms is the lack of limitations and ease of manipulation that allows developers to implement rich content and 'skin' the site in such a way that with very little effort one would never notice what it is making the site tick all without limiting content and effectiveness.

Even though I such as the AOL style I ca nothelp but criticize the lack of readability. As an unrecognizable new search that is a substantial deviation from your unique, I'd have built the AOL letters against a distinctive background or by some means emphasize the A a little a lot more.

How is it that just anybody can write a blog and get as popular as this? Its not like youve said anything incredibly impressive --more like youve painted a pretty picture over an issue that you know nothing about! I dont want to sound mean, here. But do you really think that you can get away with adding some pretty pictures and not really say anything?

Valued at approximately $5 million, it perhaps can be best described as 16,000 square feet of paradise. The rear of the Chateau houses two "prayer gardens," a man-made waterfall, tennis court, amphitheater and a negative-edge pool that offers the illusion of crystal blue waters flowing into a stream.
