a night on the town

we enjoyed a nice dinner with tammy and rob, some good friends of ours, tonight. we ate out on the restaurant's patio and the weather couldn't have been more perfect for it. after our meal, we headed over to robust, a new coffeehouse and wine bar that opened up in our area. the atmosphere was really nice and it had a lot of charm to it. it also displayed the works of local artists, which was cool to see. we all agreed that the only thing missing was some live music. (even the bathroom was nice!) it was really neat to come across a place like this in the tri-cities since there aren't too many others like it. it definitely outbeats a typical starbucks any day. if you're a tri-citian and you've never been to robust (or d.s. watkins, as it was formerly known), you should check it out! you'll be glad you did.
