Changing of the Guards
“Changing of the Guards” is a phrase originally referring to a shift change of new guards replacing the old guards at Buckingham Palace, and depicts what appears to be happening in our community.

Coffee Shop Chronicles: Midtown Coffee House
There is no substance I love more than coffee. It is there for me when I wake up like a loyal friend, coaxing me back to functionality.
