Title: My scooterin' destination
Post by: Stig / Major Tom on December 23, 2022, 02:48:47 PM
Dino's Cappuccinos is my favorite coffee shop.
With snow frozen roads, 25 mph crosswinds and an actual temp of -9°F - I won't be going on my scooter - or in my truck, for coffee today ~!

 he posted a pic this morning...opened at his usual 6:45AM (sunrise was 7:54AM today)

Some big news regarding the nearly 100 yr old shop directly next to Dino's.
The shop sat empty for a few months after the death of the long-time owner in 2021.
Dave Chappelle's company then stepped in and purchased the building.....and has been given approval to raze the somewhat derelict shop and build a new business - with 2 ground floor shops and a 2 bedroom apt above.
Some of us are not happy with the planned bunker-like design....and even the architect admits it's a step away from the "funky" nature of the other village shops.
2 yrs work is planned. (fiberglass abatement will take a lot of time)
Dino said it has been slowly returning to Mother Earth anyway...so a new structure will be welcome.

The new design....situated between the Y.S. Credit Union and Dino's.

The former "Earth Rose International Imports" there next to Dino's....(just about the last old hippie shop of its kind in the village!)
