"The house art is a beard with a pipe sticking out of it, the house blend is called 'Poets', there's black and white photography on the walls and a mysterious red curtain covering the back wall - Johnny Brown's is onto some beatnik boutique ... business right here, and all in the heart of the part of the Valley you thought was nothing but mountaineering stores and broken dreams."
