Passion Cafe in SOMA

Most days, dreams fade in the morning light. Not this one!

The Passion Cafe, the vision of Steve Barton and Jacques “Frank” Andre, swings open their doors today. After years of challenges, the accomplished and magnanimous owners share their dream, a dazzling design, the Shangri-La on 6^th Street… a nostalgic cafe in the morning metamorphosizing into a lively, yet enchanting French bistro into the evening. Simply walking through the wooden double doors will transport you back to the early 1900s as they restored the original detailing of the foyer. Inside, the milieu is majestic…

They say you can't judge a book by its cover... but that was long before there was the magical Kindle 2 which absolutely requires a cover for safety and style.

The Kindle 2 might not have come into this world naked... but pretty darn close. Amazon's prepackaged cover would've been great for a hotel pad of paper and a pen. But job numero uno for a cover is safety. (safety never takes a holiday.) So for a $300+ device, I require a durable cover that will protect my Kindle if I accidentally gravity test it.

The Bobarra Thoreau cover has 4 elastic bands securely latching my Kindle into the cover. Thoreau once said that “books are the carriers of civilization.” But when civilization needs to carry their book, they don't want to be worried about dropping them. For someone who is always running around, I sincerely appreciate the safety of the Thoreau.

But I'm not one to compromise on style. I love the sleek brown leather with fastidious stitching around the edges... professional and cool—I've gotten a few inquiries about where I purchased this cover while riding the bus around town.

Overall, I am very happy with my Kindle 2 and love my Thoreau cover.
