losing the veranda is like losing an old friend. it often reminded me of one of the few places in the villages where one could stop and smell the roses, so to speak. it oozed a soft gentility compared to the likes of other lsl dining establishments and to the hustle and bustle of shoppers. guess i will enjoy my coffee in the quietude of the boardwalk rather than the porch - but the people watching will not be as pleasant on the boards! you will never catch this soul in either panera bread establishment - it will leave a seat for those who prefer dining of that ilk - my friends and i will likely take our spending off site when we want to get away from it all now; and i do regret that.
