Coffee hut honors crash victims
Most people expect to be served coffee by a couple of guys when they drive through Bro Latte in Rathdrum. Customers are often surprised when they pull up to the window and see the two young women who own the little coffee stand, said Alexis Blum. Blum, 22, and her best friend, Marisa Randock, 21, bought the coffee business three months ago. After discussing the name, Blum said they decided Bro Latte would be perfect — and the story behind the name is what makes it so special. Blum and Randock's boyfriends, Donavan Puga and Ian Everett, were killed in a car accident in North Dakota in March 2015. Puga and Everett were passengers in a Dodge Ram when they were struck by another vehicle, killing them instantly/Mary Malone, Coeur d'Alene Press. More here.
