Starbucks aren't franchised, are they?
Nope.
There's a Starbucks in the Target near me. It's a wonder I ever leave.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
There are three Starbucks that are each less than a block from where I work. There used to be four, but one closed.

What I'm having a bit of trouble with is the Starbucks in the library.
There is a Panda Express in the main branch of the LAPL.

Okay, that's a little out of control.

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.
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.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
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.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
The closest Starbucks to me is about 5 or 6 blocks away. I want one closer because I'm just a lazy ass like that.

DX, I'm thinking Green's an Immortal. On the upside, there might be some hotties with swords coming through NC in the next few weeks. The downside, well, I think I'll keep my laptop unplugged just in case.
None of my local libraries have coffee. I think that should change. We have a lovely local coffee house across the road from the nearest Starbucks, which isn't too terribly saturated hereabouts. Oddly enough, in an area famous for caffeine-driven geeks (Research Triangle Park) there's only one coffee house, and it's hidden so far in the back of a strip mall that you have to be really motivated to find it. This should also change.
