A View of the Meeting Place in the Morning
I’m sitting here, enjoying a week off of my full-time job, soaking in the atmosphere at The Meeting Place on Market. It really is a gathering place of diversity, and I love that!
I’m sitting in the area known as the Terrace, at a little round table with two chairs. My laptop is open, I’m plugged into the wall, and enjoying the free wi-fi. To the right of me is a table of three ladies wearing dresses and enjoying conversation with frozen mochas, lattes, and quesadillas. Next to the window sits the pastor of a downtown church, soaking in the sun as he writes.

To my left, in the area called the Pub, for its chess board topped tables and dark interior, sits two friends enjoying conversation over coffee in a comfortable booth. Another booth is taken up by a young man brainstorming over a notebook (since I know him, I’m guessing he’s writing songs). A businessman is sipping his coffee with skim milk while he works diligently on his top-of-the-line laptop. Hopefully he’s not noticing my jealous looks as I type on my dinosaur of a laptop.
In the Dining Room area, with large tables suited for meetings, a table full of young professionals, in casual clothes and carrying portfolios, are talking. I’m not sure what they are discussing, but it looks very interesting.
Our private meeting room is taken up by a pastor couple of another downtown church and their team, whom we enjoy hosting often.
I just tried our new peanut butter flavoring in a mocha – awesome! And of course, I couldn’t do without an “everything” bagel with ranch cream cheese (my fav).
So The Meeting Place on Market is a true gathering place for people of all shapes, colors and sizes. I love the vibrancy such diversity of use allows! What energy exudes in allowing people to be who they are, without the need to fit into a certain stereotype.
“For those who have seen the Earth from space, and for the hundreds and perhaps thousands more who will, the experience most certainly changes your perspective. The things that we share in our world are far more valuable than those which divide us.” – Donald Williams

Another Veteran
This is the third installment in our series about five year veteran employees of the Meeting Place. This week our spotlighted employee is Laura Hesler, who has worked here since she was sixteen.
Laura says she decided to work at The Meeting Place because her older sister (that would be moi) liked working there so much. She too has made lots of good friends while working here.
Laura’s favorite menu items are the Cheddar Apple Turkey, served on a spinach wrap, and the Iced Chai Latte. Her best memory is of the five year anniversary party last May. (That seems to be a lot of people’s favorite, I’ve noticed. That was one fun party.)
Thank you, Laura, for all your time here and your creativity and hard work!
