little cafe in Villa Park 15 years ago, she wanted it to reflect her diverse life experiences and stand in contrast to the cookie-cutter coffeehouses cropping up everywhere.Her coffee shop became a de facto gallery for area artists, showcasing music from local bands and hosting weekly poetry nights.
Coaches, soccer moms, grass-roots political groups and members of a local Alcoholics Anonymous chapter all stopped at the Funky Java coffee shop on Villa Avenue.
from Chicago Tribune: Joyce Poggi, 1931-2011
