Every morning before I trudged into class I'd swing by the "coffee block" next to campus. In this one block, there were 14 coffee shops and the only one I frequented was CP. Black Tiger Mochas and milkshakes were a staple. I still have one of my CP road tour mugs (from 1998 I think) but only because it was my "smoothie only" mug. The coffee mug unfortunately didn't make it.</p> <p>A friend told me about Jim and Patty's about a year ago and I've been meaning to make it up there for a visit for a long time. Thanks for the nudge, I may have to make a road trip.</p> I just arrived here from Molly’s blog, but had to chime in as another lover of Coffee People.

But indeed, purging is good. I am working hard on upping my game in that arena.

Also, hello! Found your blog through goodreads. I did not go to Lincoln but had friends there (I went to OES). Good ole’ PDX, I miss it.

I used to work for Jim and Patty at the 23rd Street Coffee People basement store back in '92. I still harbor fond memories of the whole scene, from the smell of the beans to baking the cookies to having a line of my regulars out the door when we opened on a weekday morning and knowing who wanted what before they got to the front of the line. Aw. I still reflect sweetly on the Jimbo the Hippie cookies and, of course, Jimbo the Hippie, who was even more wonderful than the baked goods named after him. Thanks for taking me back, Matthew. :)</p> Flashback to Portland! I used to work for Jim and Patty at the 23rd Street Coffee People basement store back in ‘92.
