Downtown Midland







Above are some of the things I encountered on my way to The New Ground floor.
The Ground Floor is still located on Wall St, but it in now located at 203 Wall St, which is before you get to the Hilton. Its about a block from the old location. The La Marzocco is the same, and I have to admit they make a good coffee. Their specialty drink is the granida, which is kind of like a frappuccino but better. The ice is more like the ice in a slush puppy. A tasty drink that is almost better enjoyed with a spoon. They have a wonderful selection of pastries, some you will not find anywhere else in Midland. I find the cafe to be large, and more roomy than the old place. Tucked neatly into a corner is a rather large stage, which would be great for those local bands on a Friday night. The walls are a bit bare right now, but I am sure given time it will regain its charm and local artwork. Overall, I am glad to see them back downtown.
