This adorable wrapping paper and announcement was found on the door of one of our favorite coffee shops of ever, Blue In Green. Longtime owner Mike Baer has skipped off to Seattle with his family and leaves behind a legacy of the best pancakes in Philly, a strong cup of Iced Coffee, and endless stories about local celebrities. All told first-hand. He never wanted his picture in any publication, but his trademark curly hair and plaid hat are burned into the collective minds of many longtime customers. He will be missed.

In his place will be Philly Cupcake, who currently is looking to hire a cupcake maker and sales staff with experience. Right now, hotness is The Cupcake, so we hope to see this corner finally succeed where no other business could.
