Dramaville

The Stranger has a piece on Storyville Coffee and its connection to Mars Hill Church. The Bainbridge-based coffee house has been getting the side-eye from many folks since word spread of Seattle expansion plans. Bethany Jean Clement explains the fuss: "The owners of Storyville are heavily involved with neo-evangelical, homophobic, misogynist Mars Hill Church." And even though "the coffee was smooth, the pastry was buttery, and the staff was bright-eyed and very friendly," nobody was eager to talk to her about the church. [The Stranger]
