I wouldn't want it to be on a main drag. I would want it to be a cute small-town feeling place. I'm not sure where exactly it would be located, but probably in either Harrisburg or Junction City. =)
It would be a cute cozy homey feeling place. The kind of place that feels safe and comfortable, like you could curl up with a good book there forever. I would have it painted warm colors, with Bible verses painted artistically on the walls, and cute little knick-knacks on random shelves. In one corner there would be a fireplace and big comfy chairs, with a bookcase behind them filled with second-hand books for sale.
In another corner, there would be a small stage and a microphone, where every evening local artists could come and share poetry, songs, anything, and every Friday night there would be an "Open Mike" like Life Bible does once a year, when anyone could come and share, as long as they run their stuff by a trusted manager.
We would sell coffee, of course, as well as all the typical amazing goodies you find at that type of place. The not-so-typical part, would be that theoretically, my Aunt Deana, possibly the best goodie-making cook on the planet, would make them. =)
I would hire people from church to be employees and baristas, because of course I want to help support my work-needing church family! =)
That's about as far as I've gotten so far with my plan. Now all I need is a location, a partner, investors to get it started, and a business manager! (That's not a big list at all is it? lol jk)
You know, this all started out as just an idea, and then a dream, but as each day goes by it's turning into a more solid actual plan. I think I could actually maybe make it work, though I still have quite a ways to go. I think I might take a business class over the summer at a community college. =)
