Life at the Fair Trade

I've been working at a wonderful coffee shop in downtown Phoenix called the Fair Trade Cafe. It's located at Central and Roosevelt, just south of the Spaghetti Factory (another fun and awesome business in a truly unique building).

I've never worked at a place that has a cause I support so wholeheartedly. All the coffee we've got is Fair Trade Certified. For more information on how fair trade practices work, the Wiki has a quick rundown for you.

I am really hoping that downtown Phoenix continues to grow and have more businesses like ours. Phoenix is definitely up and coming, but with the development of the light rail and continuing urban expansion we are seeing in the area, it will soon be the kind of downtown people will truly enjoy visiting. We are already seeing a lot more people just wandering around exploring the interesting local things there are to see, which is a positive thing.

Oh, and here is today's photo. Salvador Dali faces off with a rhino. Kind of perfectly captures the weirdness of today.
