I'm going to have to cross O'Naturals off my list of friendly hang-out places. The free wireless and tasty scones make me keep forgetting, but it's developed a ding I can't really overlook: it's successfully positioned itself as a more family-friendly alt to the Diesel (not that the Diesel is un-FF, but O'N has a little play area, and Diesel doesn't, so there), so it's always full of several last names' worth of utterly random-acting babies & toddlers noodling around. Which I'd normally be able to deal with -- my sphere of awareness is quite small -- except for the fact at O'Naturals is basically one large room with some truly outstanding echo effects.
Yyyyyyikes.
Also the coffee blows. But the scones, man. I guess that's what to-go bags are for.

Who knows why, since I'm generally an introvert... (well, it's not like I like to actually interact with the crowds.)
In retrospect the music has something to do with it too. O'Naturals doesn't have a soundtrack (Carberry's did; I can't guess at why they dropped it), so when a single person (of any size) is being loud, that's all you hear. This really irritates me.
