Smokey Row rocks. One of many great coffee shops in Des Moines. The OG Smokey Row in Osky is pretty great too with an adjacent bookstore right on the square.

I have yet to make it to the OG! I want to, and knowing there’s a bookstore nearby is even more incentive to go

Amazing how the Seinfeld moments in one’s life can occur frequently in a very specific place. Memories made, and dusted away in comforting ways, somehow helping us to carry ourselves through in the friendly confines of familiarity. Kind places work wonders and so do lovely stories. Thanks
