“We were just trying to find fun events to bring people in,” LaTasha Perry said. “We came up with this idea, and we’re going to give it a trial run.”
(Personal aside: One word that is etched in my brain forever, because it tripped me up at my second-grade spelling bee, is “gondolier.” I. Will. NEVER. Misspell. That. Word. Again.)

“Do you think you have what it takes to be the #1 Spelling champ in Englewood?” the owners ask on the cafe’s Facebook page.
Well, do you?
