Real Place of the Day...Mugshots?

Finally made it to mugshots in Fairmount, awesome place. That as close to the Seattle style coffee/cafe place that I miss so much. Pretty nice, a little expensive though.

I was wearing my don't partially hydrogenate me shirt and the barista chick was like, love the shirt, and I was like, I love it too, and she was like, do you really stay away from those? and I was like, hell, yeah, coffee girl, and she was like, I have to tell you that the wraps here have parti. hydrogs, and I was like, I'm not surprised, most tortillas have parti. hydrogs, and she was like, really, I love you, and I was like, sorry my heart belongs to parti. hydrogs, and she was like, but what about the..., and I was like, shut up, it's just a shirt and who can live another day if it's not full of smashing a whole bag of Oreos in your mouth.

Mugshots had friendly people working there. It was a little sterile and the production of food/drink and stuff was way, way, way too organized for it to be cool yet. It’s cool when it’s hard to get your coffee and everybody is always on break even though they’re standing right there, in front of you, behind the counter, smoking a cigarette. Philly needs a coffee shop like that.

I was saying to my friend, not a source yet, while we sat in Mugshots that Fairmount could very easily become Philly’s coffee shop district, they just need to push out more of the poor people who eat at that pizza place a block north of Mugshots. There’s plenty of room for them closer to Broad, or Girard. Up, up, up, Fairmount goes. I couldn’t afford to live there anymore. Herbs makes better coffee. His is German, it's all in the roasting, he claims. Medical School doesn't drink coffee so he's got nothing to say about Mugshots. Wait, he actually told me to go to Mugshots, or maybe it was Crazyhair.
