Requiescat in Pace: NiHao Tea House
Sep. 30th, 2010 02:54 pmFor the last hour I've been sitting here in this tea house, sipping, web crawling, and writing.
For 3-4 years, my little writing workshop would meet here at this little tea house in Gloucester Centre Mall, to read what we'd written each week for as much or as little critiquing as each of us could stand to hear. Novels were worked out here, articles for weblogs, short stories, poems...everything but scripts for actors, I think, and we might've tried to hash one of those out too.
Today is the last day of the life of the NiHao Tea House.
I thought I'd drop in for one last visit, one last taste of their Jasmine Green Tea, before the screen door was pulled shut for the last time.
If you happen to visit the Gloucester Centre before 9 PM tonight in your travels through Ottawa, please spare them a thought and a few minutes of your time.
