Located at 110 Chambersburg Street, this coffee house is convenient to the town center and offers a variety of pastries and sweets to enjoy with your coffee. And a quick visit to its FB page says that in addition to lunch, the Ragged Edge is now serving breakfast. Good to know.

I must admit, however, that I've yet to partake of the menu items, having recently been introduced to the establishment for an entirely different purpose: a meeting place for poets and poetry reading.
I am not a poet but I attended to listen to a poet friend read from her developing collection. In fact, anyone interested in listening to poetry, reading their own poems, or reading the poems of others are welcome on the first Friday of each month. Just follow your nose up to the second floor.
My first visit was earlier this month. The group was small but I was told that attendance varies month to month. Things get started (general announcements and the like) at 6:00 p.m. and the program continues until 8:00. Typically, after the readings, attendees are treated to musical entertainment from a local artist. And then the group adjourns to a neighboring tavern, Gary Owen Irish Pub (at 126 Chambersburg Street). And this is exactly what we did. What a great time I had that evening! Look for more on the Irish Pub in an upcoming post.
Till next time . . . Get with Gettysburg!
