Why the hours are in railroad time

Our hours say we open after the 8:14. People ask what that means, and the honest answer is that the 8:14 was a freight train that stopped running in 1971.

The Bracken Valley and Northern ran right past the building, which was the freight house, which is why we have a loading dock for a patio and a milepost for an address. When the line closed, the schedule stayed nailed to the wall. Nobody took it down, and after a while it was easier to keep time by it than to argue.

So we open after the 8:14 would have come through, which is to say a little after seven, Tuesday to Sunday. Ask Theo if you want the full history. He has it memorized and he is always happy to share it, whether or not you have somewhere to be.
