Considering the connotation "bears" has in some segments of society
Flying Beaver seems to do OK.

What else could that possibly be other than a place for airplane pilots?

It looks like someone from FOB has registered an account on VV as of this morning so perhaps we'll get the scoop pretty soon.

Considering the connotation "bears" has in some segments of society, I am wondering if this establishment is prepared for the clientele who may have a different idea of what is being offered at this location?
Hi Nparker, we thought of that particular connotation shortly after we thought of our name and decided to go ahead with it. We're not gay but have no problems with any segment of society. The name came to me in the same way one writes music or lyrics or creates anything. We made a long list that became shorter and shorter until nothing stuck more than Friends of Bears. We're more than cool with the unintentional nod to a part of the gay community and don't anticipate any undue expectations of what is being offered at this location. But, thank you for being the first to bring this up! Please come by the cafe and introduce yourself. Your Lunch is on me! -Colin

Thank you Colin. I intended no mockery in your choice of name, in fact I find it rather intriguing. I will certainly stop in at some point to sample your menu even if I have to pay.

Seems unlikely, but still....The real question is how you took a shot of that window head on without being seen in the reflection. Perhaps you are a vampire.
Suggestion: hang garlic around your windows and doors and neck. Carry a wooden stake (discreetly of course), some holy water and of course, a christian cross. Be especially careful when going out during a full moon but even more so when the moon's in full recession. You should be able to relax during sunny days.

Well at least I didn't, my first thought was it was some eco minded/PETA sort of thing.

Quality homemade soups and sandwiches, in house roasted meats, gourmet protein salads and specialty coffee.I love the name and the logo. I have no idea what food is made but there's something appealing about it all.
