The Last Great Americanos

“There are few things not purely evil of which we can say, without some emotion or uneasiness, ‘this is the last.’ Those who never could agree together shed tears when mutual discontent has determined them to final separation; of a place which has been frequently visited, though without pleasure, the last look is taken with heaviness of heart.”

-Samuel Johnson

I officially moved out of the apartment above the coffee shop last night. I now live two blocks away. Heartbreak is poignant, but on the mend.

P.S. Samuel Johnson was not one of the last great Americanos, or Americans, for that matter. He was British. And perhaps he preferred tea over espresso, too.
