According to the front page of the Wall Street Journal on Sept. 13, “Los Angeles is in the throes of another trend: the Bohemian-style coffeehouse.” The Journal really missed the mark--the statute of limitations ran out on this trend about a year ago, and we’ve got the bad headlines to prove it:

“Riding the Crest of a Culinary Wave,” Los Angeles Herald Examiner, Nov. 18, 1988.
