Having to drink a cappuccino out of a styrofoam cup just wreaks of low
class.

There's a point, where two main roads crisscross at a diagonal (picture the
tip of a slice of pizza), that's shared by a Quiznos and Starbucks.

The intersection is so busy, it's a challenge pulling in or out. The
parking lot of maybe 12 spaces is usually vacant. Probably the most cursed
property in town, except the across the street "twice burned down" Burger
King (now a going for broke bank).

Twice I've had Starbucks coffee and twice it sucked!!! Drunkin' Donuts,
down the block, has better coffee at less than half the price.
