While egosurfing, I found this photo taken in the Coffeehouse. I'd recognize that Bodum Corona cup anywhere.Check out more work by this Vicksburg photography duo Steen-Tompkins on their blog.I especially like the part where they referred to Highway 61 as: "no doubt the coolest coffee house in town."Thanks. Come again.

Read all about Lorelei Books (our next door neighbor) in this article from Bookselling This Week. There's even a nice mention of the Attic and Highway 61 Coffee.

A grand time was had by all at the Highway 61 first annual Winter Solstice Drumming on Thursday, December 21. Rebecca Chabot brought her beautiful djembe and knowledge of African rythms and Charlie Miller added some flute to the mix. All in attendance were invited to participate with various percussion instruments, and most rose to the challenge.
