BY KEVIN HERRERA Daily Press Staff Writer
OCEAN PARK BLVD. — For freelance copy- writer Ken Pappanduros, The Talking Stick Coffee Lounge has become one of his favorite places to create. He can typically be found sitting at one of the shop’s funky, wooden tables, with laptop and iPod in tow, deep in thought as he tries to conjure up the latest catch phrase. When he has writer’s block, he goes online and surfs the Internet until inspira- tion strikes. “I love this place,” Pappanduros said last week, sipping on a double, non-fat latte. “It’s really a fixture in the community. The people here have built up a loyal following and a lot of that, I think, is because they take the time to get to know their cus- tomers. Whenever I come in, (the staff) knows what I want to drink ... It’s one of those places that I walk to even though there’s three other coffeeshops closer to my house. I just like this place.” Pappanduros and other loyal customers Christine Chang [email protected] were shocked, and saddened, to learn that A MOMENT ON THE LIPS: A donut may increase your waistline, but, perhaps more importantly, donuts contain trans fats, which elevate blood The Talking Stick will be closing its doors cholesterol and increase the risk of heart disease.

PROUDLY BROUGHT TO YOU BY
Stepping out in Santa Monica ... Following on the heels of a fatal accident at Euclid Street and Santa Monica Boulevard, it was revealed last week that 13 of the city’s 15 flashing crosswalks — where a push-button prompts a series of embed- ded lights in the street and warns drivers of pedestrians crossing — were malfunctioning on a regular basis. The family of the victim has already made public its intention to sue the city for failing to protect pedestrians. This week’s Q-Line questions asks: Is the city of Santa Monica, for all their efforts to slow traffic and encourage resi- dents and tourists to leave their cars behind, a pedestrian friendly city? Why or why not? Call (310) 285-8106 before Friday at 5 p.m. and we’ll print your answers in next weekend’s edition of the Daily Press.
