Comments on: Solo Cafe Updates Look http://www.arizonacoffee.com/2009/solo-cafe-updates-look/ Sharing the best places to find great coffee in AZ Wed, 08 Feb 2012 04:38:39 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: David X http://www.arizonacoffee.com/2009/solo-cafe-updates-look/comment-page-1/#comment-79418 David X Thu, 13 Aug 2009 06:10:55 +0000 http://www.arizonacoffee.com/?p=2203#comment-79418 I love the new artwork, but honestly I miss the old arrangement of the big table and chairs. It was the centerpiece of the area and it was in the middle of everything, so it always felt like welcoming to sit in. Right now that table is tucked away by the window, which has a bunch of chairs facing each other that makes for a great meeting place for groups, but pretty much leaves a sense of separation for anyone just looking for a comfortable place to sit. The new modern white Drip-Coffee-esque tables and chairs also seem terribly out of place; Its stark and clashes with the turn of the century train station look that it had previously mastered. Other than that, the place is still Solo and still a favorite. I love the new artwork, but honestly I miss the old arrangement of the big table and chairs.

Rumour has it that the original was reversed, and had Unka Gonzo driving on the other side of the car, (Steadman is a Brit) and the printer revered it to make it look right. You can buy prints of the original with HST on the right side of the car, picture left. Ron, what does Ralph think of it?

I never knew you were an artist! Psyd, I can definitely see the Ralph Steadman influence. I hadn't ever heard of him but his work is interesting. Wow, Ron… I never knew you were an artist!

They had I believe two local artists in there the entire time they were closed for remodeling doing that by hand. For anyone interested, I wrote about the last day and the re-opening of Solo on my blog: http://gracebalancecourage.com/blog/tag/solo-cafe The artwork is awesome.
