because of the infinite things to draw
because of the steep diagonal hills
because of this cafe, and neighborhood people
...
The first time I went to Farley's it was after work in the early 90's. I had just sat down with my cup of coffee when a large white dog walked in with a big red helium balloon attached to it's tail. No one seemed bothered or surprised,
like it was all very normal. I found it symbolic ...
at that moment I knew I found my place,
my home away from home.

Other lovely places to hang out starting here

Awesome story.
Wonderful street, wonderful houses, wonderful cafe and, most important, wonderful drawing! It makes me want to travel and get to know places like that:)
yup, as jane writes, it is great when you find "your" place, indeed; even though it's not always easy. nice one you did so long ago.
(now this conversation is making me hum cheers' opening tune... ha!)
That's exactly how a favorite hang out should feel like, a home away from home!
:)
thanks!
i would love to hangout with you.
oh, lovely places... !!! I'll take a coffee, please ; )

That place looks so nice to sit and see the time pass by. Love those hills although I thought I could not drive there...perfect exercise to go down and up. Rest with a cup of tea...
"community in a cup"--great slogan (I just clicked on to Farleys).
Would be wonderful to stop by there and draw with you.
Enjoy!!
any place where you meet a white dog with a red balloon at its tail must be a good place.
I love this place! I wish I had such a nice one close to my home. Wonderful drawing too!
I love your place Janis.....love it!
I hope this is the year that we get to hang out there together!
delightful Janis...
