holding out hope for newburyport coffee shop’s revival
NEWBURYPORT -
Super Bowl is not my only loss on Sunday.
My coffee shop is closed.
I\'m not saying that I have Fule, but I \'ve gone over a few bosses and spent enough money there and I feel like I\'m a minority partner.
Since then, I \'ve been drinking coffee at the counter and looking at the Morning Post, which seems to be a ridiculous outdated way to start the day. Fowle's had Wi-
Fi, I took the iPad a few times to read around the world online, but it didn\'t feel right. 17 State Street
The restaurant will eventually reopen under new ownership, and everyone is waiting to see if they will keep the name, the faded Art Deco façade and the landmark neon sign on the door.
Many believe that, under the leadership of real estate giant Stephen R, this shift is a weathervane for the future development of downtown Newbury PortKarp.
I moved back to New England in 1998 to work at the Boston Herald.
My wife stayed in Chicago to sell our house and pack our things.
After a decade in the Midwest, we wanted to be close to the ocean.
After staying with friends and family for a few weeks, I rented an apartment in downtown Newbury port.
I moved in with a futon and portable TV, and there was not much else.
On the first morning in town, I was looking for a piece of paper, caffeine, and to be honest, there was one more person to talk to, and I walked into Fule and took a stool at the counter.
Fowle\'s, which opened in the 19 th century, has been thriving in its current position as a newsstand and soda fountain for decades.
The trendy coffee shop I entered was a relatively new iteration, promising debut in a vibrant city center.
The first morning, or the next day, I chatted with the man on the stool next door.
I asked him where to cut his hair and he told me a little mysteriously, \"go and see esther.
Not long after that, he and I helped at the time.
Owners opened a bald coffee bakery with pipe tongs and tire iron.
After about 13 years, will and I are still talking about sports, politics and everything else at the counter.
Or we are until this week.
Fule became my third place, a person who is not at home and does not work, a person who everyone knows your name.
When I was laid off from the Herald and started writing for The Globe from my home office, that little community became more important in my time.
As another friend of mine Rob pointed out, what makes Fowle\'s work complicated is a function of functions such as location, decoration, etc.
There are a lot of other cafes in the city center, but just like Fowle had previously closed due to renovations, we have found potential alternatives without finding a fully compliant cafe.
Fowle\'s is a social neon crossroads where people jump
Start my car, the same route as the software company boss yellow Porsche.
My joke is that I can find the idea of an Earth North story without getting off the bus.
Many of the features I \'ve written on these pages start with Fowle\'s intro or casual conversation.
When I start to write the secrets of a place I call Freeport, it\'s not surprising that these plots tend to go through the coffee shop I call welfare.
A company in Karp now owns the building, as well as most other places in the city center, including the big shipyards at the water\'s edge.
Fule\'s coffee shop is closed. in a few weeks, the more respected newsstand, which occupies the other half of the historical store, will also be closed.
It is reported that the new owner will become another local restaurant owner, not a chain store that some people are worried about, and will take over the entire space.
But Karp seems close.
When it comes to his plans, he speaks as Bill Belichick.
Maybe someone new to take over will figure out how to fix what we call a widow\'s stool.
