When you’re daughter is home from college in San Francisco because of a global pandemic and is living in your office and discovers old tee shirts in the closet:

For those of you unfamiliar with our former life (approx. 150 years ago) Laurie and I and Tom Baskett ran a coffee house in Syracuse, NY. This is what the space looks like today.

Harry's took over the Zopie's space so very long ago. I visited it last weekend with my daughter, Zoe, (college tour, GASP!) and Bill Eppel. They kept the footprint of the space (undoubtedly because it is good design), but Chris Webster's beautiful counters are gone. I only hope someone took them home and installed them in their man-cave. Compare these pix with your memory. How many differences can you see?

It's been nearly 25 years since Zopie's opened (1993), and 20 years since it closed. What are you, or your children, up to?
