Comet Coffee
When enjoying coffee, the environs in which we drink are as important as the quality of that drink. A favorite among campus professors and students, Comet Coffee knows this well. With the atmosphere of a classic continental cafe and its convenient — yet somewhat secluded — location, Comet Coffee is a must-try for any student or Ann Arborite who hasn’t been yet. Readers, couples of every age, professors and students fueled by their doppios are all common sightings. It’s both aesthetically coherent, with pleasantly colored cups and saucers for each drink, and offers some of the highest quality coffee in town. If Wes Anderson came to Ann Arbor, we know where he’d get his coffee.

The cigarette & the city
I will be honest: I am more focused on the moment the cigarette stub is lowered down, its astringent aftermemory still lingering in the gums, because, as it happens, he has been caught living somewhere else. For the past five minutes, his mind has been honed on the auburn, embered end of his smoke, the same fire as his anthropological prehistory; it’s our interactions with fire that detail human development, after all, and the smoke from the cigarette spins away, dances its waltz in the air, swirling cyclones at the wave of a hand. It has not forgotten its own viscerality. But he stuffs the butt down some drainage ditch, in the ashtray on his porch or in his pocket. He steps away from the secluded corner or alleyway he found himself in, away from existing as those nooks existed, away from their stillness, and reenters the world again.
