I agree. We need a welcoming atmosphere where community members can come together and share the joys of coffee, tea, and music past 6pm. I also love the idea of an open mic.

… If business isn't willing to pick up on this need do you think there would be some interest in starting something like the 'kids in the hall bistro' in Edmonton? It's a blend of downtown bistro with work experience for at risk youth. If we take that concept and/or model and apply it to a coffee shop … maybe? Here's the link:

I think this would be a great Idea! I know Wetaskiwin might be lacking in Retail things and such but I think that more things like this should come in before hand. I was very upset when I found out that the old Home Hardware store they had been working on for so long turned out to be an Optometrists, I was greatly hoping to see a bar and restaurant go in there. But yes, a fabulous idea.

but, to be fair, the new optometrists building looks pretty cool :)

A kids in the hall-type bistro would be excellent. Coffee shops have come and gone but each has enjoyed short-term popularity. I think, to help the open mic concept along, we might need some sort of artists group to go along with it. It's one thing to manage a coffee bar and quite another to corral artists/musicuans and arrange entertainment schedules.
