       | Great outcome for La Colombe! The quality of their cafes in
       | Philly have been going downhill for a while and this move won't
       | halt that. But if there's one thing we have enough of here it's
       | coffee shops.

       | Ages ago the owner of La Colombe, Todd Carmichael had a show on
       | tv called Dangerous Grounds, where he traveled the world buying
       | beans from hole in the wall country farms. Came off a bit like
       | the old Bear Grylls show, with Carmichael always finding himself
       | in shady situations trespassing onto peoples' farms to broker a
       | deal. But it was wildly fascinating. Think it only aired one
       | season.
