2719 W 36TH AVE

The kettle starts before anyone is fully awake.

Cedar shingles, a porch that stays wet from October through March, and a kitchen you use like it is yours. Shoes go by the door. The mailbox on the wall is a little crooked; it still takes the mail.

The downstairs is the house, not a lobby.

You come in from West 36th, hang a jacket, and the table is already there. Toast in the morning if you want it; otherwise the shops on Dunbar Street are a short walk once the rain eases. Rates on request — call and say the nights.
