Finding the beauty in ordinary things
Because I don’t normally take pictures of my food, unlike my little brother Anthony, I can’t show you the veggie panini I had at Common Ground Coffeehouse and Deli today. But, rest assured it was amazing, and it’s one of the reasons I like working in Burlington.
Also, with its plethora of seating options, Common Ground has been one of my favorite places to study over the years. I’ve even finished quite a few books there in the loft.
