Our nearest Starbuck's has been replaced with the third location of a
quite nice local restaurant. We used to occasionally drive some distance
to the nearest one. Quite a joy to have it so close now.
The economy may be suffering, but this new restaurant has been hopping
whenever we have gone in or gone by. Seems there will always be a market
for quality.
Interestingly, it's only a couple of blocks from the original Peet's
Coffee. Starbuck's is s spin-off of Mr. Peet's pioneering coffee shop,
then shops, started by Peet's alumni who were impatient with his slow
expansion method. The original Peet's just reopened after a complete
remodel as Starbuck's closed. Good.
