Hanging Out In the Hood With Stuart

I met my friend Stuart (see photograph above) at Waffle Brothers in Denver's Uptown neighborhood for dinner yesterday evening, and afterwards we wandered down 17th Street checking out the bars and restaurants located there.  We wound up stopping for coffee at St. Marks Coffeehouse, which used to be located in LoDo (Lower Downtown Denver), but which relocated years ago to their present location next to The Thin Man, a trendy bar with the same ownership.  Although we both ordered coffee, I couldn't help but notice that this particular coffeehouse also sells pints of beer.  Now that's my idea of a full service coffee bar. Sometimes when you visit a coffeehouse, you just don't feel like coffee.
