Coffee

Coffee shops used to be these dark little places in half-basement storefronts where poets and artists and musicians hung out and you could linger over a cup of coffee, talk, play cards, have a cigarette and actually relax.

Now they're non-alcoholic fern bars where the politically correct meet to network. And the coffee's not very good.

Talk about going to hell in a handbasket.
