The grumbles centered on the most recent town meeting. No stuffy brick and mortar, fancy schmancy ivied hall – this meeting of the minds was carried out over coffee at the greasy-spoon café on Main St.

The Coffee Table meeting commenced.

Hizzoner the mayor stepped on toes that day and this crowd was having none of it.

I think every town must have this group of men – they come in different sizes and shapes, but they all gather around a table come Saturday morning to cuss and discuss the latest hijinks of the mayor and legislators. This is a glimpse into small town Kenai.

    Good job…I think every town has a group like this. I know ours does! LOL

  2. Love it. I’m from a small town in Vermont, and it wasn’t quite like this, but to this day there are still town meetings on a regular basis. I do love Vermont’s politics though.

    I felt like I was reading a scene from Our Town or something. That’s a compliment. I really liked the setting and characters.

    I really enjoyed this! I deal with people like this on a daily basis!

  8. Our town definitely has the “coffee drinkers” who meet every morning in the local cafe to complain about everything. Nice job capturing that flavor.
