JoeDuck,

Are there poetry readings at The Downtowne Coffee Shop? Are there other poetry reading venues in Talent? My husband and I are thinking about doing a little traveling. Talent sounds like a cool place to visit. Thank you.

Donna

Claudia, if you see this, please contact me.
I’d like to ask a few thing about the old Talent Cafe. I loved the place!

I was poking around and found the pictures of the Downtowne Coffehouse in Talent, Oregon. My grandfather, Lucky Gilbreath, owned the Mobil gas station from the mid 1940′s until he sold it in 1975 to the Starks. I have often wondered over the years what became of the gas station and it was fun to see the current pictures of it as a coffehouse. I have many memories of spending my summers there in Talent as a child and knew many of the locals…my favorites being Lila and Marie who owned the Talent Cafe (which is now a photography studio) across the street. The history of the cafe is amazing and I have some costume drawings that were on the walls going back to the 40′s and 50′s from the Shakesperian Theatre in Ashland – Lila having given them to me prior to her death.

Thanks for the trip down memory lane.

My Dear Mr. Duck,
Are you ever at the coffee shop for the poetry readings? Through some serious Googling I have learned that Liz Robinson frequently reads in this house of wonderful repute. 40 years ago I lost her. I would buy you a cup of coffee (the next time I’m in Talent)if you would pass my email address along to her. She lived in my parent’s garage apartment in Ashland a lifetime ago. Thank you and aloha!

The Coffee Shop experiences can be really interesting. Offbeat books, interesting people, waterbowl and free treats for dogs, …. and more and more they all have free wifi setup. For those without laptops, many coffeeshops offer one or two terminals at low rates and often let tourists get their email for free.
