Hot Cha Cafe

The Hot Cha Cafe at So Cal Landmarks:

In about 1932, a small, hexagonal shingle-style Victorian building in Long Beach got a programmatic makeover, adding a large, angular percolator made of metal and glass on the roof, to become the Hot Cha Café. The name changed to the Koffee Pot Café, but it remained a coffee shop into the 1960s…

If this was still a cafe I’d totally go there just for the style. I’m glad it was restored instead of demolished!

A small, red, one-level octagonal building sandwiched between what looks like a house and a garage on a sunny day. A tree sticks in from out of fram, and cars are parked in the street out front. It looks like there's only space for a single room, and the windows and glass door feature a logo and the name of a salon that you might be able to make out on a bigger display than the one I'm using. Most unusual: A stylized coffee percolator sits a top the pyramidal roof.

When I write something new on my gemlog or import an older blog entry, sometimes I’ll also import related posts so I can link within the #gemini capsule instead of out to the web.

I was importing a post on how functional memorabilia is both irreplaceable and easily replaceable depending on how you look at it, and it mentioned my #Mozilla #Coffee mug – which I still have.

But yeah, Mozilla Coffee was briefly a thing, back in 2003-2004. It wasn’t a run by Mozilla, it was someone who had a mail-order coffee business who branded some of it and donated half the profits to the Mozilla Foundation.

I went a bit overboard with finding #whimsical “adventures” for the Flickr #panda during their planned downtime to disentangle from Yahoo’s datacenter. I think I’ll go with the #coffee mug shot once uploads are working again.

“These watercolors were painted by Chinese artists during the mid-19th century and sold to Western customers in port cities of Hong Kong, Macao, and Canton. They’re imaginary birds but with some real #MondayMood feelings.”

SRSLY? Look, I like Peet’s coffee in general, and I’m not a fan of McDonald’s, but comparing their new iced blended coffee as containing “Double strength, fresh-brewed coffee” compared to *every ingredient* in a McCafe down to the guar gum goes beyond disingenuous.
