Agora

* * Panic! I'm Prairie Doggin' It.

You know you're getting old when you are no longer willing to compromise your comfort for cool.  

Agora is a coffee house in the Montrose/Westheimer area that also serves a variety of adult beverages and desserts.  Agora used to be where I went when I wanted to sip on some flavored coffee and smoke my little cigarillos whilst I reflected on life and journaled.  Aaahhhh, to be 20 again! 

I recently visited my old hang out thinking I'd love it just as much as I did back in the day but . . . that wasn't the case.  

It's a tad crowded and the furniture is uncomfortable and like I said, comfort is something you value more the older you get I think.  And then there's the BS!!! 

I really really really can't imagine a worse bathroom situation than a dirty one staller where others are free to come in and form a line and wait for you to finish your business!!!  That kind of pressure is TOO MUCH!  There was a BS I visited once that was just like what I described EXCEPT you had to get an employee to let you in.  This was at some pharmacy in the Heights, a CVS or Walgreens, one of those.  And when the employee let me in with their special key there was a crazy women already in the stall!  So I was left there to listen and wait for her to finish WRAPPING HER BODY.  WITH TOILET PAPER!!!!!!!!  Literally, I was locked in a bathroom with a crazy woman!!!!!  OMG, I'm starting to get anxiety just thinking about it.  

Anyway, Agora's BS is not quite that bad so I gave it a two star rating.  I just don't understand what people are thinking sometimes.  Why make it a one staller open to the public?  Put a lock on the door OR make it a two or three staller!  Stupid.  And as crowded as Agora's gets, they really should have more than one stall.

The positive things about this one staller is that it's large and clean and has a place to hang your purse.  They also provide a chair outside the stall for someone to sit while they wait.  Awww, that's nice of them to provide a place for me to park my ass while I wait on the drunk girl in the stall to finish adjusting her pantyhose as she carries on a conversation with her friend standing outside the stall and talking so loud that the whole fucking world can hear their "private" conversation.  One time I actually overheard a girl talking about how she and her boyfriend had so much sex the night before and now her vagina smells like pizza!  AHAHAHAHAHAHA, guuuuuuurl somethings you need to keep to yourself!   Anyway, I'd much rather prefer to park my ass on a TOILET SEAT so I can get this SHIT over with and get the fuck out of here.  But thanks anyway Agora.

To end this on a positive note, the BS did have one of those new hand dryers that's so loud it sounds like a rocket ship taking off and if timed correctly you can drop a deuce when someone's drying their hands and the world will never know you just TOOK AN ENORMOUS SHIT!  : )  Yea!
