I did a lot of writing over the last few years in the upstairs cafe of the Borders on Michigan Avenue. You get a nice view of people on the street from there, and the Water Tower looks beautiful when it snows. Now it's closing, which is a real shame because I'd always hoped to one day do a reading and book signing in that very store, so I could point out that I'd written much of my first novel only a few yards away. O cruel economy!
