@scottalanmiller I'm sure you can get a croissant and coffee anywhere in the world these days Actually, I find the coffee in Israel much better than in NA, I bring a few pounds of the stuff with me every time I travel there

Apparently you haven't spent enough time in the US. No, you cannot easily get good breakfast pastries or coffee in the US in most places.

Ugh I wish.

@scottalanmiller yeah, my visits were to Detroit (ugh, just ugh.) and Boston, which was actually pretty good, including pastries. I'll be in San Francisco next month, will see what I find there. Here in Canada, coffee and pastries aren't anything to write home about, but you need to know the right places - chains are notably bad, but some mom-and-pop shops can turn out to be very decent, and I'm pretty sure it's the same in the US (at least that was the case in Boston)

Detroit is pretty unique.

I used to live in the Annapolis area (Arnold) and worked downtown.

@scottalanmiller Yeah I haven't been paying attention to the forums there as much but I had noted in the back of my mind that I hadn't seen you in a bit, and was at a get together the other night where someone mentioned the move and I was like (light bulb). oooooh. lol.

I actually live in Montgomery County in MD... LOVE the traffic here.
