UFO Crashed at Coffee Shop

It's gone. Coffee shop is closed up. But cute downtown with neat shops and breweries.

UFO Crashed at Coffee Shop

After having a great lunch at Nexus on Pan American Ave., we drove to see a few RA attractions and loved this one. You're right -- the locals having coffee aren't phased by the saucer on top.

No longer there. Replaced with a new generic type sign.
