DAVENPORT-What started as local businesspeople taking their daily work breaks to enjoy a cup of coffee together decades and decades ago has evolved into a group of friends shooting the breeze rain, snow or shine at two local homes, but the goal remains the same: connections, friendship and a few jokes here and there.
