Trying a new coffee shop is like traveling overseas, requiring one to walk the fine line between comfort and adventure.

Who knows, perhaps you can take a minute out of your busy schedules to try something new.

Autumn. It’s time to stock up on good cheer before the eternal winter sets in. So get out, see some foliage, and take a trip to the theater to improve the quality of your life. This week’s review is a two-fer, so why not watch two movies while you’re at it?
