yinz

praktica ltl 3 and hp5, tinted in darktable (please don’t kill me with a gun for not being pure analog). this is one of my favorite places in the world. when i moved to pittsburgh back in 2019, there was a coffee shop called crazy mocha where i would do my transcription work for like 40 hours a week. i’d buy a coffee and set up my laptop there and just tip tap tap away. my apartment was real fuckin small but it was in the middle of everything.
during covid, the place shut down and it seemed like it might never come back. the employees all got abruptly laid off and the old owner fucked off because he was basically running a million scams at once and his business was collapsing or something idk the details that’s just what i heard. anyway, it was like, aw fuck, my home’s gone, but then the old owner of crazy mocha, before the then-current guy who fucked up the business, decided to buy up like, most of the locations and reopen the place.
now it’s yinz coffee and a lot of the employees who worked there ended up getting rehired and it’s still my favorite place in the world. thanks yinz coffee.
