The new me!

Well I was scolded today for being too negative.  I don't think that I was being too negative, just honest.  I guess I need to learn some political correctness.  I should have went with my first name for this blog "Not PC in PC". (Just kidding???)

I am a little negative right now.  Things Downtown are not going very good.  There is very little traffic and less business.  I am not the only one feeling this way.  I talk to many business owners in Downtown and we all have the same story, business is very slow and it is only the first of October.  None of us know what is coming. Maybe scared of failing is a more appropriate description of how I am feeling.

That brings me to the subject of Common Grounds Coffee and Deli.  Things are going very well here.  We have been serving new customers everyday.  We have a lot of room for improvement but we are constantly trying.  We have been adding some new items, we have a daily lunch specials and are certainly open to any suggestions that you have.  We are trying some new coffees from various small Ohio roasters.  Coffee is very similiar to wine, depending on the growing area and weather you get very different flavors.  I am going to try learn as much as I can about coffee and what makes it good or what makes it bad.  I had someone tell me once that they didn't know good coffee but they surely knew a bad cup of coffee.  Let's hope you never have a bad cup of coffee at Common Grounds.

We need to hear from you, the customer.  We want Common Grounds to become your coffee shop.
Keep reading this blog and I will keep you informed about upcoming events.  Staying POSITIVE.

Please post your thoughts, I really need know that at least someone is reading.
