In the US, you don&#x27;t see European style communities like this much outside of the fu-fu hipstery gentrified urban areas, or places like the coast of Maine, where they roll out the welcome mat in the summer for the tourists and their wallets, but don&#x27;t actually go to such places themselves.<p>Most places, the closest thing you&#x27;re going to find to a little cafe is your local 7-11 or Dunkin Donuts.  Or the local package store.  Generally, people go to the supermarket once a week, and they stock up enough that they don&#x27;t have to go to the market every single day - when I spent a few months in Germany, this was one of the differences that struck me most oddly.  Art is generally... not held in great esteem.
