Yes! I wandered into Panera yesterday to see what the situation was. My favorite sketching table was empty and a few of the morning regulars were at the round table nearby. I bought a lemonade and sat with my new large, conspicuous sketchbook and felt very self- conscious until the pen hit the paper. The place was not crowded as I preferred but there was a steady stream of customers using the kiosks to place their orders and that was all I needed. I sketched a crowd! Happy happy happy.

(Ps. The last time I sketched in Panera was 2/21/20 before the pandemic. Panera. #76, 77 and 78).
