The first coffee shop in Socorro is evidently closing, according to my old friend Brian. It's too bad. Martha's cafe was a big advance in the liveability of Socorro - somewhere to go for a capuccino. The coffee was of variable quality (her staff changed a fair amount) but just being there was good enough. And her desserts were usually excellent.
Before I knew Judi, I used to go there in the evening for a late night coffee and dessert (I was running a lot in those days and could afford the calories). I remember sitting there with Paul Harden discussing Comet Hale-Bopp. We cruelly told a nearby eavesdropper that we couldn'd discuss what we knew.
The day Judi and I got married we went there for our reception (the four of us). Gavin had a great vanilla shake, I remember. The photo of Judi and me is still on the wall - she looks just gorgeous.
Thanks Martha.
Tim

Alas. That does kind of suck. Martha is definitely a character. I don't really remember that, I only really remember the wedding and standing outside taking pictures.
Alas for those of us still here in Socorro! Makes our coffeemaker that much more valuable--thanks!
