Smokey coffee

When I was coming home from yoga the other night there were fire trucks outside The Garage (People’s Coffee, Garret St), firemen inside swooshing out water and evacuees hovering in the neighbouring car park. I forgot about it until today so we went over for a coffee and to get the goss.

Their glass front door was boarded up and it there was a kind of nice (if you didn’t think about how it got there) smokey coffee smell. Apparently a cigarette butt in their rubbish bin (tsk tsk) caught alight and smoked out the people in apartments above who called the fire brigade who smashed the glass front door open to get in there and hose the place down.

They are so lucky that all they lost was the bin.
