Review of The Homegirl Cafe
This story introduces us to a cafe in Los Angeles that we probably otherwise would not know about. Rebecca uses the ambiance well - setting the scene and keeping us in the cafe for the story. She also uses colorful writing to draw the listener to the story.
A well, done engaging story. Place it into the feature slot of a national magazine or your local news. It's evergreen and should work fine.
