Coffeehouse comeback: the return of Tillie's Bean

By Lori Wolter , TC Daily Planet

Tillie’s Bean is a survival story, still hoping for a happy ending. Last summer, owners Maggie and Dave Turner looked forward to better business after two years of street construction. Then came the break-in that left the coffeehouse with a damaged glass door, cash register and computer. An acid-etched graffiti incident left Tillie’s windows ruined.

Advise and Dissent: Sparkle Jones

Abortion: I believe taking away a woman’s right to abortion is taking away her freedom. There are diverse reasons why abortion is the best option. There may be rape; few people want a reminder of a traumatic event. There may also be financial issues; many women just can’t afford children. Additionally, women with weak emotional states frequently turn to alcohol and drugs and this dependency leads to abuse and/or neglect of her kids … If a woman makes this call, or wants the option to make this call, why do people pass judgment? Hard decisions are based on beliefs and if you make a decision based on what you believe, then everyone should both accept and respect your decision. — Sparkle Jones, 17, Humboldt High School MORE »
