During college, I sometimes hung out at a quirky little tucked-away coffeehouse in Seattle.

Years later, I looked for it on a visit and couldn't find it or remember its name. But a friend mentioned it last night, and I immediately looked it up!

It was The Last Exit, and I had no idea it had such an interesting history. I just knew it felt like stepping into a magical "other" place.

Reminds me of Clarke’s descriptions of The White Hart.

I lived in the Seattle burbs in the late 80s and early 90s. So I could have gone. But I’d never heard of it. Bummer.

If you haven’t read Arthur C. Clarke’s “Tales From the White Hart”, i think you’d really like it. It’s a collection of short stories the last of which is “The Defenstration of Ermintrude Inch”.
