this is relative to where you call home in america as well. in the 
gorgeous outdoors-obsessed hamlets of the american west, cafe culture 
kinda thrives... filled with sociio-political conversation, 
laptop-toting middle-class digerati, trustafarian good-for-nothings, 
and upstart post-alternative micro-culturists seething with spiritual 
pheromones driving sunshine fueled meta-cadillacs of love.
