Man

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.

I think their sandwiches are fantastic, but it's silly to think of them as a fast-food competitor, because a) $6 a sandwich can't compete with $3 a sandwich, even if the $6 sandwich is way more than twice as good, b) they're fast, but they aren't *that* fast, and c) no drive-through. They're more a very good sandwich place where you can be pretty sure that what you're eating isn't damaging the environment in some egregious way. I even eat meat there!
