New kid on the block

| Open day |
San Lorenzo is fast becoming the place for great food and a place to hang out. Common Grounds is the latest place where you can hang out, grab a bite, and have a cup of coffee.
Shari Sauer is running the place with her husband, Jim. When I spoke to them, I was told that it is like a "Dunkin Donuts". Their hours that they are open are long, and if you want to know what they are they are posted by the entrance I was told.
They will be serving at the weekends a buffet,
