Sure its getting bigg...Gig Harbor is a SMALL town. Sure its getting bigger, but it still only has one high school within its limits. So on the main road through town there are four Starbucks at one corner. It's crazy!!!danielskiffingtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07763036681017930625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8604756439843084387.post-14946334760121806372008-07-03T11:07:00.000-07:002008-07-03T11:07:00.000-07:00I love coffee, always had.

It was always warm milk, a few sprinkles of Folgers and sugar. <BR/>But seriously, I don't really need two starbucks on the same street. On 23rd, there is on at Hoyt and Pettygrove, then one at 21st and Lovejoy. Not to mention the one on 20th and burnside, oh right, and the one inside Fred Meyer at 20th place and Burnside. Way.too.many.<BR/>But, I live in the PNW and I'm very used to this. When I visited Boston for a few days, I was sadly surprised that there were no bakeries and no coffee shops. They were inundated by a few starbucks and TONS of Dunkin Donuts. We don't even have those here any more!andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04706058561414918096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8604756439843084387.post-22915997353190172192008-07-03T07:59:00.000-07:002008-07-03T07:59:00.000-07:00HOWEVER - Starbucks is in financial trouble and I ...HOWEVER - Starbucks is in financial trouble and I heard today will be closing 600 shops nationwide. I think they overdid it, and in tough economic times, people give up their $4 lattes first.

When I moved back to Seattle from Cleveland, I was blown away by the fact that 95 percent of those people walking had a beverage, usually coffee in one hand, and a cellphone in the other. And, I couldn't believe how FAST people talked, and that they actually vibrated when they talked. It frightens me to think I don't notice that vibration anymore. It can only mean I am vibrating at the same frequency too. There's a lot to be said for slowing time and taking a moment to BREATHE!!!!!
