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.

I spent an inordinate amount of time in that place from the mid 80s to the early 90s (when I graduated from UW, I turned around and started working there, so, kept up my Last Exit habit.)

Rumor has it that the marble tables along the walls had a previous life as urinal dividers in a correctional facility.
