Just one account of a young lady trying to start a business in Chicago... that ended up in Austin.

So a young lady moved a coffee business to one of the blue spots in Austin that is always being compared to being as hip as Portland. I am shocked.

Street vending is illegal in Chicago - so she couldn't get a permit for a bike-cart selling iced coffee on public property.

Wait...a coffee shop? You mean like a place where I can go buy coffee? Coffee away from my house? I hope this genius is getting a trademark or patent for this type of bold and decisive foray into capitialism. I mean the trailblazing she is doing at this moment...has to be an inspiration to little girls everywhere. A Coffee shop!? In Austin? The Audacity! The Vision! I hope she starts a blog. Or better yet a Twitter hashtag. This is important.

A coffee shop. Way to show those racist homophobic racist in Silicone Valley that women are great at science, engineering, and that thing where you deal with money, whatever.

It's a coffee bike not a coffee shop. Chicago regulates street vending.

If she has a nice "rack" she will make a killing.

Unless she is doing it on a unicycle it isn't original...and on a unicycle, I think that has been done too. Street vending is illegal in Portland as well. Street vendors get around this law by setting up in private parking lots.

She is operating in Chicago, running the "Street Vendors Justice Coalition", and expanded to Austin.
