Finally, I can walk to a coffe shop. King Lincoln Bronzeville Welcomes Urban Spirit

That's my neighbor getting a Chi Tea to go!Twelve years ago when I bought my current home, I envisioned ice cream shops, dry cleaners, restaurant, bars, coffee shops, galleries – everything I could ever hope to walk to — going up and down Long Street, Broad, Parsons, Oak, maybe even Hamilton Park.

Well, as of Tuesday, I’ve got a coffee shop.  A big welcome to Urban Spirit coffee shop and gallery and to it’s driving force, Charity Martin-Via.  The shop is on the corner of 17th and Long Streets, in the gorgeous building that Peter Loscocco bought and painstakingly and lovingly restored. 

We need to spend our local money in this local coffee shop because we need to encourage other budding entrepreneurs to try their hand on the near East Side of Columbus. The coffee comes from Crimson Cup, a local coffee roaster whose point-man, Greg Ubert is not only an expert in the field, but a nice guy as well. 

I learned this morning that Charity’s sister is planning on putting a new real estate brokerage office right next door as well.  While I don’t like a real estate office around the corner from me, I welcome the addition of a new Long Street Business with a storefront and wish her the best.
