As a side note, Dana Street Roasting Company is good coffee. They roast their own beans (as the name implies). The service is great and the people are friendly. They offer live music sometimes and are generally an awesome place to hang out (they have outside tables). Oh, and dogs are welcome – at least outside. Ask for a water bowl! Also, they have a ukulele club!
Random ukulele facts:
1896, from Hawaiian ‘ukulele, lit. “leaping flea,” from
‘uku “louse, flea” + lele “to fly, jump, leap.” So called from the
rapid motion of the fingers in playing it. It developed from a
Portuguese instrument introduced to the islands c.1879. Abbreviated form
uke is attested from 1915.
