Two of my favorite things in Fort Wayne, Indiana:
Firefly Coffee House
Coffee in the Midwest can’t be compared to coffee in the Pacific Northwest. I don’t hold it against the Midwest, but it’s simply not important out here. Firefly has a lot of redeeming funk and character, and that’s what kept bringing back during the years I lived here.
Across the street from the Firefly is Retroactive:
Retroactive has an incredible amount of vintage clothing. I bought a few cardigans and some other goodies. Rose owns it, and her checkout counter tells you a lot about her personality. Full.
It smells a bit like moths in there, but I suppose one would expect it. Nevertheless, there is vintage gold in there, and I have never left empty handed.

We played Whirlyball for the first part of Blaine’s bachelor party in Chicago. Essentially you drive around in bumper cars with pseudo-lacrosse sticks and try to throw a ball into a net in a backboard. Simple and perfect.
Discovered on the world wide web that it also exists just north of Seattle. Joy abounds!

Can’t wait to go back to Fort Wayne/Zulu on Sunday. I do love the Pacific Northwest, but the Midwest will always be home in so many ways.
Kenz is meeting my family for the first time. In her words:
“Eek!”
