"The Kletzsch Perk coffee shop, in this repurposed gas station building,
closed quite a while ago and the building has yet to be sold. It was a
cute idea. Sherman Perk, its sister coffee shop, seems to still be
open; I used to make a point to stop there when I was on Roosevelt
Drive, which is a route I don't take anymore. This 3/50 project is
making me think of local businesses that I like but seem to have a
tenuous existence."
Perhaps someone knows exactly when the brief window was in which the shop was open in an otherwise long-vacant building. (To give you an idea, I'm pretty sure the service station had already closed when I passed this corner every day on the way to and from Glen Hills Middle School. That would have been 1986!)
It opened in 2002 or 2003.
Sadly they closed summer of 2007.
It was a very friendly, neighborhood kind of place and they served a good selection of Alterra brews. I still miss it.
