Coffee Pot Cafe by Karen Checca

When I was very young this cafe opened called the Coffee Pot. It didn’t stay in business too long, as I remember, but, as a child, I always thought it was just the coolest building, lol. It had a horseshoe counter with stools all around the circle. When it went out of business, it stood empty for many years. Most recently it had been the office for the James River Rafting and Canoe Company (I think that was the official name). On either side of the building they had racks of canoes where people would rent them to take off on their own, or opted for guided tour trips, which were also offered. I remember when the rafting company opened in the 70’s b/c I drove past this building every day on my way to work. “That won’t last long,” I thought. Good thing I didn’t make a bet because it prospered and stayed open until only a few years ago. We rode by it earlier this month and I had to stop and take a picture. On Rt 60, between Buena Vista and Lexington, VA, across the 4-lane road by Ben Salem Wayside (where everyone would stop for a picnic and swim in the summer), the Coffee Pot is still standing, 40+ years later. We both may be showing our age, but we’re both still hanging in there. ;)Karen Pentax K200D, 800 ISO, 1/180 sec, f/6.70, 28 mm, Pentax-DA lens, Redfield Fractalius Filter applied
