To the Editor:

I heard over Christmas that the Village Cafe had received an extension to operate until June from the Inn, which owns the property. It is a little disturbing to know tKat the Inn owns yet andtfaer piece of the town. This promptecTtaie to think about what it really means to have the Cafe remain where it is. I’m comfortable being able to take my children there to eat because of its relaxed and easy atmosphere.

When I first heard that the Inn was going to move in, I enjoyed the idea of a different taste to the coffee and maybe something different to eat. But I decided that our town meeting place doesn’t need a face lift or a change in menu.

This establishment is Central to our living town. I can understand the desire to expand, but this feels v like encroachment. This change is not for the people in our town but for the people who come to visit. What the Inn does is tasteful, creative, and luxurious but enough is enough.

The fact that Washington is a living town-as well as historic and lovingly preserved~is its attraction to those who come to visit. I don’t think the Inn’s cafe can offer us anything
