Heidelberg in snow, Ninth Street

This was the Heidelberg as I fondly recall it, before the fire and the nearly to-the-letter rebuild.  Now it is much taller, but a little less rustic.  It's hard to replicate 50 years of cigarette smoke, grease, and spilled beer.  Taken when Osama's coffee shop still held sway over south ninth street.

  1. Osama's was the far south end of ninth street's answer to Lakota. And then some. Fantastic coffee and espresso, homemade hummus and falafel, atmosphere. Now these attributes have been taken and consolidated at Coffee Zone, on the other end of ninth.
