Okay, so Los Angeles isn’t exactly the destination to watch the leaves change color. Far from it. Being a California transplant, what signals the fall is the rainy weather. Proof that it does rain in Southern California as opposed to what those time old postcards will have the tourists believe. While the weather doesn’t get too cold (thankfully) it’s still

Our Daily Grind is located on Main St. in downtown El Segundo. It is one of the very few independent coffee houses in the area. Upon walking in, I saw quaint furniture that reminded me of a grandmother’s house in the country. The chairs were wooden or wicker. Vinyl tablecloths adorned the small tables. Most importantly, no lights were on.

When I was in college, there were mom and pop coffee houses everywhere. I had more fun going to those coffee houses vs the big chains. It was for the simple reason that the staff was always more genuine. They knew you, they knew your story, and of course they knew your favorite drink. Yes, they train you to be
