This is Big Mike's Coffee Shop
Big Mike
His shop is located right across the street from the University of North Texas in Denton, Texas
Mike has been at this location for almost 20 years. The coffee shop used to be Voyagers Dream- a Pier One type venue with everything from tie dye to singing bowls.
Did you notice the flag?
This is Mike's car. I found it parked around the corner on Fry Street.
Just an average kinda grey car.
Or is it silver?
Grey with Silver stripes?
Look closer
This car has a history
A long
history

A strange thing happened after taking these photos. I went to my parent's house to download them. I was sitting on the back patio having a cold beer when a football came flying over the fence followed by three young men. One of them was Jacob.
I hadn't seen him since he joined the Marines after graduating from High School last year. He was quite proud of his "first" tattoo.
We talked for a while before he hopped back over the fence.
