These are a few shots of the old "Street Level Coffeehouse" in New Albany, Indiana

My favorite times were the snowy nights

This shows the Chemex coffee setup and an auxillary stovetop steamer to help with making drinks when orders started getting backed up

My friend from IU Bloomington, Mark Pitts, who helped the first year to get things started.

My mom and business partner, Frances Needham, who took care of the behind the scenes administration and worked the tables too!

This shows about half the tables. The other half look the same way. This was just after a really good review in the restaurant section of the Louisville Scene in 1977

This was an article in The Louisville Times-Scene giving the coffeehouse a great review.
