Crabtree plans to open a topless coffee shop in as soon as a month here, where the biggest excitement has usually been the town picnic during Vassalboro Days each September.
In a long-vacant building that once housed Mac Daddy's Pub at the Fat Cat Grille, Crabtree plans topless service between 6 a.m. and 6 p.m. to 25 tables arranged on a checkerboard floor behind blacked-out windows and a cordon of security.
And, in a nod to what Crabtree said were complaints "from jealous women," he plans to include a few topless males. When patrons arrive, he said, they will be asked if they prefer a male or female server.
I have doubts that this will be successful. I think he'll get a lot of press at the beginning for being the first of its kind. But I don't think the novelty will last for too long.
PS. Here's my favorite line from the article:
"My husband doesn't drink coffee," said Erlile Pelletier, as she worked the cash register at Ferris Variety. "But I told him if he became a coffee drinker, we were getting a divorce."
