So I took a couple of friends to help me investigate the place which was reportedly located at 113% N. Main St. But we couldn't find any 1131/2 N. Main St. Not until we asked a fellow in one of the block's many taverns did we learn that a plain green door did indeed open upon a stairway leading upward to the Ann Arbor Coffee House, the city's last Turkish coffee shop. From upstairs came the sound of chuckling voices, reminiscent of a pool hall, but more subdued. One floor up on our left was a screen door, that opened on a room where two foursomes, all men, were drinking coffee and playing cards. Before we had a chance to look over the place, a thin man in a brown suit and wearing a hat came from the rear of the room to find what we wanted. He was James Grapsas, proprietor. Yes, this was a Turkish coffee house, Yes, it was the only one in Ann Arbor. Would we like some coffee? He steered us toward one of the six tables but we hesitated to see how the coffee was made. When we questioned him about it, he said he was just going to have a cup himself and would show us how it was made. He dug a spoonful of finely powdered coffee from a canister and dumped it into a metal cup and duplicated the process with sugar. After pouring what seemed1 only a dash of water into the mix- ture, he set the cup in a pan of heated sand. Suddenly, the coffee -was boiling. Once we had sat down we had a chance to look around. The place was all atmosphere. It was just a plain room, with plain tables, plain chairs, even plain hooks along two walls for coats.

Free Booklet Tells How You Can Read Better, Faster, Easier Are you the type? TURKISH COFFEE-James Grapsas, proprietor of Ann Arbor's remaining Turkish coffee house, pours from the metal cup he had just taken from the hot sand on the stove. He has been sell- ing Turkish coffee here since 1937. i I 1 The only things that seemed out of place were the coke machine near the door and the cigarette dispenser by the front windows. Everything else looked as if it must have been the same when the shop opened in 1937. The coffee tasted sweet and dry, like hot chocolate except for the chocolate flavor. It seemed to last a long time, sipping it from the tiny cups. Where did the coffee come from? From Detroit, Grapsas said. This was too much. The romantic bub- ble had burst. We got up to leave, stopping only to learn that Grapsas serves mostly regular customers, is 671 years old, and came to this coun- try from Greece 46 years ago.
