Thanks for posting this; not easy to read critical stuff about oneself in print. Ol' Factory needs to continue - it makes Monterey livable - my best to you Morgan finding a co-investor and getting things more solvent. Third places are *crucial* for the community. Wishing you the best from WA.

The Ol' Factory Cafe

The Ol' Factory Cafe One month, 3274 ideas, 475 conversations, and 32 meetings later... The re-opening of the cafe looks VERY promising! Those of you who know the reasons we're closed know that these things take a little work. Those of you who don't, well, these things take a little work. But we're working on it. Meanwhile, I'll see you at Sweet Elena's or Wild Goose...

Dave I keep thinking of election night and the electricity at the Ol Factory. One of the more memorable moments. It was historic and one of those days I wont forget. We need you back in action

Last night at The Factory last was amazing. Thank you to everyone who showed up. Your support/input are priceless. For everyone who was here in person there were many others who couldn't be here on short notice. Taken together, those present and not, we have a small army who will make this work. The OFC has truly ...become a "community" establishment in ways we didn't realize. More updates daily. Thank you!Read More

The operative word is truly "Community". Good things happen when people come together for a common cause.

Glad to hear the night was productive. OFC fills a space in our community by which there are truly no other substitutes...usually this is what makes a "product" a success. Now to figure out the details on how to manage that position within our community.

There's a lot of support for OFC in the community. Nice blurb in the Weekly - now to make it work without a lot of stress!

The Ol' Factory Cafe For all of you who have expressed interest... The POTLUCK/BRAINSTORMING SESSION will be at The Ol' Factory on Wednesday the 28th (TONIGHT!) starting at 6pm. FYI: There have been many great ideas from several people; now we just need to discuss them together and make them work. Your input, support, and ideas continue to be invaluable!

Jen Bliss Ugh, the ambivalence is killing me. I MISS MY CHAI!

Elise

Elise So, is there a time and place for Wednesday's brainstorming?.. there used to be this really great place in Sand City for a meeting like this.. think it might be open for our use?... What time is everyone showing up? I vote for 5pm and brown bag our dinner, no need for a dishwasher, or a dishwasher supplies salesman.

It's hard to imagine Sand City without the Ol' Factory Cafe, but for a while, at least, its many fans will have to do just that.

Nice shoutout, but the article says Sand City is 10 miles north of Monterey. Maybe we're all in a parallel universe or something.

Wow. Ok, I have a request. When I die will you all please show up at the funeral and the same nice things you’ve been saying in the past two weeks? That was a completely unexpected and overwhelming response. Thank you. Fortunately (or not, depending upon your perspective), I’m not dead. B...

No word on specific time yet. I'll keep my dance-card free from 5-6:30 in case it's an early gathering...otherwise I'll trust the group to brainstorm away and share how I might be helpful and/or participate in next steps.

Look forward to an update! Ol' Factory is certainly missed. Many times recently OFC would have been the usual venue for a meeting or just a good latte. Come back soon!
