New Bar


Ran into a new type of bar. A Cereal Bar. Never heard of it. I was out shooting some B&W film in my SLR camera (becoming a lost art) in cold weather and needed to warm up. I had already planned to stop at Java Break for a latta because it's my hippi coffee shop. It's in Lawrence (15 miles away), home of KU, in one of the few Democratic counties in Kansas. There are plenty of liberal types. I'm about as traditional as it gets, being a utility engineer and Republican. This joint is a 24-hour dive in the basement of an old building in the downtown area. Their patrons are of all walks of life and I like it. They just put in this Cereal Bar. My early-20s DD can live on cereal, and the barista said she thought cereal should be its own food group. I need to come back another day to try it.

And there I was thinking you meant something more like a cereal GRANOLA style bar :D
Now I have to admit, a cereal bar is not one I have come across!

Spinneretta - I DO mean cereal like granola, although they may view granola as a topping along with different fruit or some yogurt. The six little signs in the sketch each has an employee's pick of two cereals and topping that they like, too.

John, this is such a grea drawing. I also like the commentary - "cereal should be it's own food group". Funny!
