Buenos Aires Starbucks
What would i do without world traveler, Cathi R., who shoots pics for me?
I like the ornate balcony and shuttered window above, an open door, below, but no line.
Not one person in sight.
A sleepy street.
A blue sky peeking out behind wispy clouds to match the blue arrow, pointing,
To where?
Kind of early morning, dreamy.
There's a crazy tango waiting to be danced,
hours away.

Drive Thru Starbucks
After all, we Angelinos spend a lot of time in our cars.
Don't you love it when the sign says "ONLY"
So definitive.
So authoritative.
This Starbucks, at the intersection of Sherman Way and Whitsett, is in the wilderness of home improvement and contractor warehouse heaven, and a bunch of marble/tile stores added in for good measure.
It's got an interesting, artsy facade, though, but ONLY if you're looking carefully.

Laptop Starbucks
Look closely and you'll see three laptops, and their owners, seriously mesmerized, hunched over them.
The Macs have taken over!!!
Except for the guy in the foreground.
He's focused only on me.
For now.

Ski Thru Starbucks
But for those who are, a first of its kind -- a Ski-Thru Starbucks.
Toss those mittens away, snow bunnies, no need, when you can warm up those frozen fingers with a hot cup of java. Right?
But, can you maneuver your skis while holding your cup?
Will there be spilt coffee on white snow?
A coffee trail?
Me, I'm still feeling Brrrrr.

Valentine's Day Starbucks
Cup touching cup.
Love doubled.
Not quite a Hallmark card, but who wants that anyway?
Happy Valentines Day to all.

Noho Arts District Starbucks
Quick. To Starbucks?
Inside, it's so steamy that all the windows are fogged up.
This is Noho, AKA North Hollywood, on the road to gentrification at the corner of Vineland Ave and Magnolia.
Here, you'll be surrounded by upcoming actors and dancers. Millennium Studio is nearby, so too the Academy of Television.
So, breathe it in, you can smell it in the air.
It's Hollywood, baby. Hollywood dreams.

King City Starbucks
The City of King is situated on Highway 101 in South Monterey County in the heart of the California's Salinas Valley.
Agriculture is king in this city and surrounding areas. But this pooch is king of the patio. Most of the other stores are empty in this round-type strip mall, "For Lease" signs everywhere you look. :-(
What would John Steinbeck say if he could see this today?
I'm hoping he'd write another book.

Beer and Wine at Starbucks?
-
"Starbucks to add beer, wine to menu at select coffee shops
January 24, 2012 Starbucks customers are about to get a different kind of buzz.Already a go-to for morning commuters and afternoon pick-me-ups, the coffee giant is going after a happy hour crowd by offering wine and beer at select Southern California locations. Starbucks said it would bring alcoholic beverages to four to six new or remodeled stores...The introduction of beer and wine was met with skepticism by some customers at a downtown Starbucks on Monday afternoon. "If I wanted a beer, I'd go to a bar.".......
