There's a Starbucks 1, in the building I work in, 2 and 3, in two buildings across the street, and 4 a block away. If the line is too long at one I can easily go to another instead.

What I'm having a bit of trouble with is the Starbucks in the library.
No food or drink in the library!!
Creepifying, Jesse. Random strangers knowing where you live(d)...
Creepy and confusing.
No food or drink in the library!!
They just changed the library rules here. Still no food in the library, but drinks are allowed if they have sippy lids.
The Starbucks has its own entrance, and you have to go outside and walk about three feet and go in a different door to get from the Starbucks to the actual library part of the library, but it's still pretty much in the library.
Starbucks aren't franchised, are they?
Nope.
There's a Starbucks in the Target near me. It's a wonder I ever leave.
There are three Starbucks that are each less than a block from where I work. There used to be four, but one closed.

There is a Panda Express in the main branch of the LAPL.
Okay, that's a little out of control.
Pretty boys from television at Starbucks, picking out coffee services.
I may have discovered the Ultimate Buffistas Topic.
Wait.
One of the pretty boys is bleeding.
That's it.
It makes sense that Starbucks is not franchised, becaue usually if you buy a franchise you get some sort of guarantee that there will be no other places from the same franchise within a certain distance of yours.
There are actually no Starbucks anywhere near where I work now. There is a Starbucks about a block from my apartment - just a little too far for me to be able to connect to my WiFi network. (Maybe if I get a directional antenna....) It still annoys me that you gotta pay for WiFi at Starbucks.
I have to take a train to the nearest Starbucks. outer borough baby. Then again, I don't like starbucks, so that is ok.
Union square has 3 Starbucks.
I had a weird dream last night where my (deceased) great aunt and uncle left me a house that had never been emptied of belongings. I am not sure what the justification was for finding out about it several years after their death, but as with all my dreams about houses I remember tons of the design and floorplan details. The weirdest thing I remember is that it had gas heaters with metal grills built into the walls. The grills would get extremely hot and so you had to avoid every leaning on or touching the walls for fear of getting burned.
